**Giants Grave (Breamore)** submitted by JimChampion : May 2005. Looking north at the Breamore Giant's Grave long barrow, with its new rabbit-proof-fence and sign which asks you to respect the monument and stay outside the perimeter fence. The axis of the barrow points uphill, which is unusual round these parts. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Earthen long barrow in Hampshire

A neolithic long barrow, oriented NE-SW, originally 65m long and 26m wide with flanked ditches. Now partly mutilated at its SW end and no trace of ditches due to ploughing. The barrow's axis points uphill, which contrasts with most of the other local long barrows which follow the local contours. [source]

Access The barrow is in the care of the Breamore House estate, and it now has a rabbit-proof perimeter fence and sign. This part of the estate can be visited for free, and access paths have been made through the crops. The barrow is a short distance southwest of the Breamore Miz-Maze: see that site's entry for detailed directions.
