Access The barrows all lie within downland fields, close to the fenced lane from Upton to the South Down National Trust car park which crosses the middle of the cemetery line. The most westerly barrow can be seen from the gate at the top of the toll road down to Ringstead. The other three barrows can be seen from the lane, although the most easterly one has such a low profile that it is very difficult to see.
