markj99 visited on 9th Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 The Greenbarrow Barrows can easily be visited en route to Trehudreth Downs. The SE Barrow is the most impressive monument. Despite a GPS search I couldn't locate the third barrow.
TheCaptain visited on 18th Jun 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 There are two large green round cairns up here, each with several large stones around the edges, possibly kerb stones. There should be a third cairn somewhere, but its not so obvious. Time to get back, making sure I pass the stone row end again, having a look for any others I could find further east, but nothing.
Average ratings for this site from all visit loggers: Condition: 3 Ambience: 3.5 Access: 3
Two of the cairns are clear to see from miles around, but the third is not so obvious.
