A few hundred metres further to the south-east (at SU525278) there are two smaller round barrows in poor condition. They are a S.A.M. number 78 (according to Hampshire Treasures) and there are corner marker posts presumably as a reminder that they should not be ploughed. From these barrows there are magnificent views across Fawley Down and over to the downs on the Isle of Wight.
Access Park at the Cheesefoot Head viewpoint car park on the A272 and walk along the South Downs Way path in the direction of Winchester.
