Wardstone Barrow
Date Added: 25th Nov 2013
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2008. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Wardstone Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2007. Looking north towards the Wardstone Barrow. The track on the right leads to Chideock Farm, and is a permissive footpath. There was originally another barrow in the field to the right, but it is destroyed. Presumably the wooden posts around this one mark the limit of the scheduled ancient monument.
It was a very grey and dull Christmas Eve, this was the only decent photo that I took of the site!

Southdown (Dorset) submitted by JimChampion on 28th Oct 2006. Looking ENE, three of the four barrows in this linear group can be seen. In the foreground is a very low-profile barrow, grid reference SY75098258. To the left of this, on the other side of the lane is the barrow at grid reference SY74938260. To the left of this, almost hidden in shadows, is the most westerly barrow at grid reference SY74678259. Early evening is a good time to try and photograph these tumuli - the shadow from near-horizontal sunlight gives contrast against the surroundings.

Long Stone (IOW) submitted by Avaloniaspirit on 17th Oct 2007. The Long Stone is a place that I have visited on many occasions and I have taken shed loads of photos but this one is probably one of my favs...lol though it does look a bit phallic looking from this angle!
The closest village is Mottistone and unlless you are up to a hike then I wouldn't park by Mottistone Manor. The best place to go is up Strawberry lane(theres a interesting house on the corner which is actually the National Trusts office) Go past the driveway for the house and a little wa...

Castle Hill, Mottistone submitted by ringpaw on 27th Aug 2007. View from below - perhaps gives an idea of the squared-off nature of the fort. The fencing on the horizon is related to a small modern reservoir at the south-east corner of the feature.
