Ashen Hill Barrows
Ashen Hill Barrows submitted by abuchan43 : This is the Ashen Hill Barrows, taken from the top of the first one from the East. Taken on the 30th of June 2010, the very dry weather has dried out the ground, turning the grass on the Barrows brown and making them stand out against the rest of the field.

Ashen Hill Barrows submitted by thecaptain : Its a photo of mine from several years ago, and I think its probably Ashen Hill, but can't be sure - it could be Priddy Nine Barrows.
