alchemille visited on 20th Apr 2012 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Barrow of Ventadou.
It s a melon shape barrow near St Aquilin. Tumulus de Ventadou.
Take the D43 St Astier to St Aquilin, best park by the church and walk up the hill to the chateau du Roc, and old perigourdin house perched on the hill. Take the first path on the left. Do not continue up to La Vigerie.
The barrow is at the bottom of the hill behind the 2nd house you find. The barrow is not visible when there is a high crop planted in the field behind the farm as this is situated at the bottom of the field, 50 m behind the old abandoned farm.
