Pudding Barrow
Pudding Barrow submitted by JimChampion : January 2005. Looking north-east at the Pudding Barrow. Composite image, camera resting on a post of the barrows protective fence: the only way to capture the barrow without the fence spoiling the view. Conifers of Stockley inclosure can be seen behind, with a camoflagued water-tank lurking in the trees to the right. I'll return to this spot in the summer, see how the ambience changes when the bar... (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Barrow in Hampshire, located in the south-east corner of the Forrestry Comission's Round Hill caravan site. Surrounded by a recent (and substantial) wire fence and wooden bumper to prevent damage from oblivious campers and caravans, or thrill-seeking off-road bikers.

There is no stile or gate to this fence, so presumably the barrow should be admired from a distance. Sadly the information board at the site has been stripped of its information (Jan 2005) so I have drawn from other sources.


There are many similar barrows in this part of the New Forest, but this one is unique in that it has a given name (an obvious reference to its "pudding" shape?). Hampshire treasures states that the barrow is "disturbed on east side", but at least it escaped the fate of many other local tumuli that were lost when the Beaulieu Heath area was used as an airfield during the Second World War.


Access The barrow is on Forrestry Commission land, in the corner of a campsite (only open for camping during the summer). However, access by foot/bike is possible all year round. Nearest car park is off the B3055 at Stockley (SU345017); then take the concrete track west along the southern edge of Stockley Inclosure.

Pudding Barrow submitted by JimChampion : January 2005. Looking south towards the Pudding Barrow. The new fence and barrier is clearly visible. The campsite is closed to vehicles in winter, but many walkers and cyclists passing by, and even one person on a scrambler motorbike. Presumably the fence is a deterrent to wheeled enthusiasts.

This site is recorded as Porumborough in 1253 when the land at Dilton was granted to Netley Abbey. However, there are a number of named barrows in the Forest, including Cold Pixie's Cave and Laurence's Barrow (?destroyed by the airfield) nearby on Beaulieu Heath. Hathborough and Siwardsbury are a couple more names that relate to barrows though the barrows have yet to be identified in those cases. On the western boundary of the Forest there is Lugden Barrow and others, which are mentioned in the Forest perambulations recorded from 13th century onwards.

The Forestry Commission have released their detailed proposals for their two campsites at Hollands Wood and Roundhills. The proposed changes (as outlined in the Forestry Commission’s Non technical summary) at Roundhills involve relocating camping from the most sensitive parts of the site, including the area around the Pudding Barrow.
