Phillwhite visited on 16th Sep 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Access: 3 Lovely little spot park quarter of a mile down the road in the layby and walked through the top of the field. The traffic on the road is fast! Had to hop over a barbed wire fency but it's a lovely spot worth the effort.

TheCaptain visited on 13th Apr 2004 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This very nice long barrow, which lies on an east west axis, is in a field just to the south of the A420 a couple of miles east of Chippenham. The remains of the barrow still seem largely intact, and it is several metres high along its central axis. At the centre of the southern side is a rock lined chamber, about 2½ m in length by 1½ metres in width, 1m height, which has obviously been restored, as the roof is now supported on steel bars. The opening to the chamber has a curved, dry stone walled forecourt, and there is a blocking stone across the opening. Apparently, other chambers were found along the northern side of the barrow, and the remains of many skeletons were found in them.
