Woodbarrow (Exmoor)
Woodbarrow (Exmoor) submitted by thecaptain : This is another large round barrow high up on Exmoor which is still in a good condition, although a very well used trackway runs past it just to its eastern side. As usual it has been dug into from the top, there is a very marsh and boggy remains of a ditch running around the outside. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Remains of other, lesser barrows are nearby.
