Bronze Age Barrow at Rowberrow (NOT Rowberrow Barrow, which isn't at Rowberrow!) in Somerset

Large, "excavated" in 1813. Looks out from the edge of Mendips at Rowberrow/Shipham towards Weston Super Mare. The picture is taken from another angle.
Note: Barrow is on private land but can be seen from the Swan pub car park or Philfare Lane (where the picture was taken from).
Taken while geophysics being done in the area on a wet and cold February morning.

Further details in Somerset Historic Environment Record (No. 10763).
Also in Tratman Barrow Catalogue (no. 185) and Grinsell (listed as Shipham 2).
