This Barrow has eluded me for 6 months - the Barrow itself is not at all prominent -

Then add

(1) the megalith OS map puts it 75m too far E;
(2) the OS Explorer 169 and the Pathfinder 1113 are slightly deceiving because the words 'Long Barrow' are printed to the N of the road to Bournes Green but the site itself is to the S of the road running momentarily W-E and part of the high S wall/hedge of the road touches the N side of the Barrow;
(3) the pastscape aerial photograph shows the Barrow 30m+ too far E and
(4) because of high hedges & walls - throw in long grass (until today!) and the odd field contours and you begin to lose confidence -

What has been the best help - the confidence booster? - http://www.old-maps.co.uk -

Even then the Barrow is not that easy to pick out, about 0.5m high and only that high on the S side and unusually it runs W-E (if not WNW-ESE at a pinch!)
