Horsell Common W submitted by Andy B : The huge Bowl barrow in all its glory. You can just see a circle of yellow grass around it which marks the ditch. Just about fits in the frame from here. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A pair of barrows - a Bowl barrow and a very hard to spot Disc barrow. Very imposing and worth a visit if you want to see some magnificent earthworks.

Note: Sadly the latest War of the Worlds film has been set in America, but there are still some unusual saucer-shaped things to be found on Horsell Common

Horsell Common W submitted by Andy B : This is the disc barrow, honest! From immediately in front, a very slight ditch can just be seen stretching around to the right, parallel with the line of trees, which look like they have been cleared.

Re: Horsell Common W Street View by Anonymous on Saturday, 01 May 2010
I am pretty sure that I have spotted a very eroded barrow about a mile north of the main barrows, not far from the six crossroads, cut through by a main path. Interestinly several of the later field systems seem to radiate from this feature (which appears to be a disc barrow around 20 meters in diameter). This feature is pretty faint but the snow earlier in the year made it just jump out!
