To simplify the named location, walk north from the Town Hall, cross the promenade, and stop at the beach. There are very few references to this site on the www, and probably very few elsewhere. Visually there seems to be nothing more than a stonier area in the mud and sand just below the HWM. Had it not been for an article on The Northern Antiquarian about the nearby Torrisholme Barrow, I would have assumed Fartle Barrow to be no more than an illogical place name.
