cliffrich visited on 23rd Feb 2019 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 3 Access: 2 I think I walked past this several times during the 2hrs looking for it! Having found the map reference site I continued to look for it. This one is the worst condition barrow that I have found so far. It is unrecognisable as a round barrow, possibly due to ploughing and a general lack of preservation :(. I found RingPaw's description accurate. No ambience, and no tell-tale mound to speak of. There are a few lumps in the ground but nothing else however, a few meters away I found a likely looking earthwork further towards Chillerton but not at the map co-ordinates. All-in-all disappointing :o See video - https://youtu.be/L7jTxUYCZkA
