Barrow Cemetery in Monmouthshire

I've not visited this site yet. It is not listed on Coflein but does appear on OS maps.

There are Defended enclosures and barrow cemetery's on the opposite river bank listed on Colfein, so I'm not sure why this site isn't listed...

There is a public footpath running along the line of the woods, so I'm hoping the site will be visible as it's a fairly small wooded area. If not, I'll make some inquiries about the land owner and seek permission to visit the site.

As well as the barrow cemetery, there are surrounding earthworks listed as "camp" on the OS map, I'm not sure if this is a defended enclosure as found near-by or maybe something else, hopefully it will still be in reasonable condition so I can get some photos.

The attached pic is taken from the OS 25 Inch 1892-1914 map.
