Bisley Barrow submitted by hamish on 21st Nov 2004. On the road from Waterlane to Bisley you will pass on the right a clay pigeon shoot, the barrow is just up the road by a public footpath. It is very over grown and difficult to access so be careful.

Log Text: Take one stable owner with several reels of electric fencing making horse pens, combine him/her with the local badger community and what do you get? - a seriously damaged round/bell barrow fast becoming an eyesore - never mind the potential for an electric shock even on the Public Footpath!!! Pity because the older part of Bitton can be quite pretty - never mind the Boyd and Avon Valleys

Log Text: North is a Long Barrow and South a Round Barrow according to most commentators - I am not sure I agree - perhaps N was a Long Barrow when it was whole but then S now still looks like a small Long Barrow rather than a Round one (but it is marked Tumulus on the OS Map) or was the RB built on the S end of the LB
