Barrow Cemetery in Somerset
From Somerset HER:
The monument includes a linear barrow cemetery located on level ground 510m south west of Townsend Farm. It consists of six bowl barrows aligned on a north to south axis.
Access should be easy with two footpaths passing nearby but one is accessible only from a busy road over a pretty much impassable, overgrown style and the other was over-run with lively cattle.
