Bisley Barrow submitted by hamish : On the road from Waterlane to Bisley you will pass on the right a clay pigeon shoot, the barrow is just up the road by a public footpath. It is very over grown and difficult to access so be careful. (Vote or comment on this photo)

This could be GLO74 - but only for the Barrow - the Twizzlestone is mooted these days to be two fields to the NE - your reporter is investigating
