Long Barrow in Hampshire

This long barrow is 38m long and 24 wide, with its higher and broader end oriented towards the southeast. Of its parallel side ditches only the western one is discernable. It is currently surrounded by trees, but at the time of its construction it would have been intervisible with the cluster of long barrows around the NE terminal of the Dorset Cursus on Martin Down.

Access The barrow is just inside the public access woodland of Vernditch Chase to the north of the A354. Park at the Martin Down national nature reserve car park (SU037201), carefully cross over the A354 and the barrow is a five minute walk to the north, just to the right of the bridleway in a clearing.
