SolarMegalith visited on 21st Oct 2011 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 The barrow is located in a corner of two footpaths (the N-S footpath is not marked on OS map).
A probable Bronze Age bowl barrow in Swinley Forest is located on a ridge, in a corner between two forest footpaths. There is a slight depression at its top and traces of a quarry ditch at its southern side. The monument is covered with trees, the best view is from the west.
