TheCaptain visited on 30th Sep 2022 Day out walking and stopped for a quick look here on the way home. The field has been harvested, leaving the long raised lump in the ground standing proud. No obviously easy way into the field, so I satisfied myself with a view from the road.
4clydesdale7 visited on 30th Jun 2011 - their rating: Amb: 3 Access: 4 Summer visit no marks in crop to confirm position - relied on OS Explorer which also showed accurately Fox Covert a site 'just across the road'
The more substantial remains of Tormarton 2 longbarrow (Fox Covert NW) can be found in the field just to the south of the lane nearby.
