View along ridge from below - the barrow is to the far left. A pocket of old-fashioned moorland with the lovely scent of gorse & bracken.

View of the site, known as Sheard's Barrow, from below. The feature is the hump on the horizon.

Top of barrow. Damage from rabbit burrowing.

Barrow in foreground, more obvious on site, but largely ruined.
 Shorwell 1 submitted by RingPaw
Long view of site. This is where the barrow is according to evidence of field boundaries, etc. Spectacular views all round, village of Shorwell in background.

It's in there somewhere. Possibly one of the grassy humps in the middle distance next to the fence.

The A911 runs between Leslie and Milnathort. From Scotlandwell drive NW through Kinnesswood and Easter Balgeddie. The road gradually curves west and you will see Orwell Farm on the left (S side of the road).. Just past here is the entrance to the field to the north (right hand side). Park where convenient, there is a long straight stretch here and you should not become a traffic hazard.
