Honeycombe Farm
Date Added: 24th Jun 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jun 2011. My rating: Condition -1 Ambience 2 Access 5
Log Text: Where this is supposed to be is very easy to get to and even easier be sure where you are when you get there. The Long Barrow is marked on OS Explorer as being where a footpath crosses the local B road - there is no sign of the barrow's continued existence - at least no sign in crop level (wheat) - may need to check again after harvest but I am not hopeful

Log Text: Not that hard to find - just keep walking up hill from the sawmills (along a pathway that starts -left- between the gate to the sawmills and the gate by the old cricket pavilion and then take the second oblique right keeping the higher part of the hill/wood just slightly to the left of your direction of travel) - just short of the top is West Tump - worth the effort

Crippet's Barrow submitted by Celia_Haddon on 3rd Nov 2004. CRIPPETS OR SHURDINGTON BARROW, COBERLEY. SO 9342 1737
A surprisingly high long barrow made into a landscape feature by Scots pines planted on it in l890, just off a footpath. Planting up barrow protects from the plough, even tree roots destroy the barrow features. The area is still called Barrow piece. At the east end, which was excavated before l779, a flat stone is all that is visible now. In “Archeological Handbook of the county of Gloucester” of 1883 G.B. Witts wrotethat the early exc...

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

Haresfield Barrow submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 24th Jun 2011. Taken from NNW - OK - so it is a bit like 'Where's Wally?' but it is there - plum centre - as the next picture will show

Log Text: Comes over the spur from the NW and plunges down the other side to the SE - but where does it guard? - certainly not the Haresfield Hillforts to the N - deep quite steep sided and really quite impressive

Bown Hill Long Barrow submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 17th Jun 2011. Approaching from the riding School/Livery Stables this Long Barrow is impressive.

Log Text: Approach gets harder the nearer you get - good views to north - the barrow itself is not easy to walk across - riding school very amenable
