I'd visited West Down village and was heading off towards Parracombe when I noticed this large cluster of barrows on an old OS map, so thought I'd investigate.
[Regards 'Access 5']: There isn't disabled access to this site, but you can drive up a narrow country lane where you can see the barrows in a field (full of sheep on the day I drove along Centery Lane). I was tempted to select 'in the middle of nowhere, a nightmare to find', but once you find somewhere to pull off the road you can actually look over a hedge and see them. I found a large gateway to barns on the right-hand side and the photos were taken opposite there.
One would not want to obstruct a farmer's gateway access to his fields.
