watersnake visited on 5th Sep 2015 - their rating: Cond: 5 Access: 2 Brown Hills Barrows. Sited on the northern edge of Gisburn Forest , alongside Brown Hills Beck . The walk from Rathmell requires endurance and waterproof footwear . The site of these two barrows is almost totally surrounded by hills and forest plantation . The largest structure is impressive in size and shape, and is home to a variety of native flowering plants ; the smaller being partially inaccessible and less central to the site .
