Two bell barrows and a bowl barrow located next to the carparking area between Adam's Grave and Knap Hill. Between two of the barrows there is long low bank this is the remains of a medieval pillow mound (for breeding rabbits for meat).

As an Adam myself, I had to visit this site. Before making my way down the spine of the barrow to the white horse (follow in a straight line up the hill ahead - there's a path), I bumped into an old chap who lived in the area. He noted the old Saxon boundary stones still in the fields down below, and the earthworks of an old hill fort just over the way. Quite a few of the deep ruts in the hill are old military training digs. Just about the most beautiful view I've ever seen; it felt like the headland of a vast green ocean.
