RichardKM visited on 1st Nov 2018 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 2 Access: 3 After the devastating fire on Merryton Low, the vegetation was burnt down to the bare peat. The rain that preceded our visits in November and December 2018 made the ground into a quagmire, but the barrow was at least visible. The barrow is not in good condition, with signs of the army's use of the area: tyre tracks and slit trenches around it, which is not surprising, given the location being marked wrongly in the HER. However, since the site has now been properly surveyed, it should be better protected in the future.
