A modern barrow for housing cremations in perpetuity created in 2020. It is a stone-lined "tomb" with niches under a large mound. The approach is lined with huge standing stones. There is a new stone circle nearby, and meadows of natural inhumations with trees planted on top.
It is off the A356 south of Chedington right opposite the turn to Beaminster, Dorset
