Re: Barbrook IV by neiltheasby on Thursday, 22 July 2021
(User Info | Send a Message)
Incorrect map co-ordinates given for Barbrook IV. Should be:-

Latitude: 53° 16' 34.58" N
Longitude: 1° 33' 54.19" W

It is a hard site to locate so the co-ordinates should be right.

Accessing Barbrook 4 by TimPrevett on Monday, 19 February 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
When cutting through the birch wood from the east to access here, be warned that many of the trees are rotting upright. We had a close shave on Saturday when leaning against one of the trees and it collapsed just scraping someone's hand. Gentle prods of other trees yielded similar effects, so be careful. It must also be noted that the birch which used to surround the monument for some way has now receeded, leaving the landscape much changed than several years ago.

Re: Barbrook IV by Walrus on Monday, 11 March 2002

An overgrown ruin, unexcavated, could be a ringcairn or a circle, survey suggested a "Flattened Type B" 77x70ft (outer), 62x53ft (inner). Short axis aligns S.E.
Has a party trick of giving dowsers "electric" shocks.
Approach from the East, other routes are extremely boggy.
