The very indistinct bowl barrow at grid ref SU17701056 is in the foreground, with the plateau of Ibsley Common beyond. I was only able to locate it because it is covered with dead bracken and new green shoots of bracken, whereas the surrounding plateau is covered with heather (and not bracken). There must be a reason for the different vegetation on the barrow.

I saw this one marked on the map but didn't visit it. The one about 100 metres south-west of here is a lovely example.
