Lansdown Tumuli
Lansdown Tumuli submitted by dooclay : Nothing but a slight swelling remains (Vote or comment on this photo)
Two barrows in a field to the east of the Hillfort with a third inside and there is also a fourth, just outside the entrance (not photographed) .

More lie adjacent the Racecourse, further east, which I have not included and possibly warrant a separate entry.
