Boughrood Tumulus
Boughrood Tumulus submitted by SumDoood : Seen here as if approaching from the riverside. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Barrow in Powys

It's visible from a gateway at the side of the road that runs up the east side of the Wye from Boughrood (aka Bochrwd), towards Llansteffan. It's a little more impressive when seen from the west side of the field within which it lies. I fear it has been almost ploughed out, but if not, then it's more exciting than it looks. Low though it is, there's no sign of hollowing, or excavation.
