beaconhill visited on 1st Jun 2018 - their rating: Amb: 3 Access: 3 Very overgrown with weeds but clearly visible is this massive long barrow, tapering at one end. It's on an impressive site with views in all directions. A hedgerow with some quite big trees in it passes the barrow so you have to go through a hole in the hedge (on footpath) to look both ways. Nice.
