I found it difficult to park here, at the side of this busy road, particularly with it being foggy, so I didn’t spend long here. The barrow could easily be seen inside the field to the south of the road, but getting a photo through the hedge was not easy. It looks a very nicely preserved round barrow, and looks like it may have some stone features.
Pastscape monument no. 188436.
