A number of Barrows are scattered around the plantation of Croft Pascoe. I looked at just two:
HER Number: 10713, This is a bowl barrow 25m in diameter and 1.6m high. The barrow has a slight pit on top and three small pits in the sides. The barrow is covered in gorse and has been surveyed at 1:2500 by the OS.
HER Number: 10712.01 Mentions a modern gun position on a Barrow - which is only mentioned incidentally.
