Linch Down
Linch Down submitted by paulcall : Linch Down tumulus looking towards the west. Harting Beacon is just to the left of the woodland on the horizon, about one quarter of the way in from the left. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is a largish bowl barrow (approx 18 metres in diameter), uniformly about 1 metre high. No surrounding ditch is now visible.

It lies on a ridge running west from Linchball Hill (where there is a possible barrow cemetary), and there are excellent views to the west towards Harting Beacon.

Linch Down submitted by paulcall : A view of the barrow from the south. It is not visible from the South Downs Way, and I had to climb a fence into the field and walk uphill to find it on the ridge. (Vote or comment on this photo)
