**Amos Hill** submitted by David : It certainly looks the part. (Vote or comment on this photo)

This round discrete hill is described as a barrow in the local folklore but has never been investigated to my knowledge. It is on private land and looks very similar to a slumped passage grave from a distance. I would say it forms part of the Slaggyford stone rows complex. It is an easy stroll from the narrow gauge railway station at Slaggyford.
