Catrinm visited on 19th Jan 2020 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 I first visited here in about 1999. At the at time you could walk on the long barrow, and there was no fence. In recent years there has been a fence put up and it is very over grown with shrubs and trees . There is also a fairly detailed information sign with a diagram of the barrow. however even that is now overgrown with brambles. Shame. Better to cut it all down so it can be seen. Its hard to photograph.

Covered in brambles and surrounded by a fence it is difficult to get any meaningful view of the barrow
