markj99 visited on 28th Mar 2026 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I made the mistake of visiting Cheddar Gorge on a Saturday. It was very depressing: people were crawling over the rocks like ants and every parking place was occupied. I couldn't face a return through the gorge so I took a random route back to the M5. I spotted this barrow in a field. There was a convenient parking spot opposite a gate. This site was the perfect antidote to Cheddar Gorge: a peaceful solo visit to an ancient site.
From the Somerset HER:
Simple bowl barrow 60ft diameter and 9ft high (T154). When the field and barrow were ploughed it was noted that there were many flint chips on the surface of the barrow although none on the field itself. Above height was in 1926. In 1954 it was only 6ft.
A second barrow (24088) is located 178m to the east.
