This site is referred to in the Daniel, Corcoran, Darvill and Grinsell County Gazeteer as GLO 70 North Cerney 1, but EH and the OS no longer list it as a barrow suggesting that it may be a medieval midden dump.
EH & OS concede (you might not credit this) that their only examination was by aerial photograph and 'the location was totally obscured by trees' (yes, that is a quotation from pastcape 327207 !!!). Your reporter not having a pilot's licence nor a kite camera thought it could be more profitable if a visit by car was made - such is the practicality of the older generation. On arrival I struggled with my seat belt and having released the same ventured forth to the barrow, I found the odd large stone close at hand. There was some damage to the barrow from ploughing, but there also seemed to be the alas ever present (these days) excavation crater. There is no excavation recorded as far as I can tell. The barrow is on a slight but prominent spur and it lies NE/SW. T. C. Darvill and A. Saville still think it could be a Long Barrow - anyone got a shovel? Well you might need it if it is a midden.
