Chelsfield Barrows
Chelsfield Barrows submitted by dooclay : 982.10 the better preserved Barrow (Vote or comment on this photo)
Barrow Cemetery in Cornwall

The Cornwall HER Map has 6 barrows here though the O/S show less. I photographed 2, HER 982.10 & 982.20. The Barrows stand on private land so my photos were taken from outside the field.
