The barrows have a common ditch which was hidden by crops when I was last close to it. It can be walked past on a public footpath but is best seen from the Weymouth road below it. To the east of it is another unique barrow above Upwey on Goulds hill. It is the only extant example of a bell-disc barrow known.
