**Norchard Beacon** submitted by TheCaptain : Near to the Trig Point, one of the barrows is still to be seen. (Vote or comment on this photo)

A ridge of hills runs east west between Penally and Lamphey, with a minor road and fabulous views along its top. About midway along, atop Norchard Beacon (110m) to the north of Manorbier, is the remains of a barrow cemetary, of which a couple of barrows are still to be seen.
