The Ulwell Barrow
The Ulwell Barrow submitted by JimChampion : Two-photo panorama of the Ulwell Barrow and the obelisk. The path to the right of the barrow continues up to the highest part of Ballard Down and then onwards along the ridge towards the end of the Purbeck Hills at Ballard Point.

A round barrow on the Ballard Down ridge, similar to others on the ridge except that this one has an obelisk erected on its southern side.
