Vernditch Chase (North) submitted by JimChampion : Approaching the long barrow from the south-east. The mound is very low, but in this open beech woodland it is obvious enough to easily identify. The green 'stripe' across the foreground is a low mossy bank, presumably an internal boundary bank in the Vernditch Chase plantation. (Vote or comment on this photo)
