Giants Grave (Breamore)
Date Added: 10th May 2023
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Saw from a distance on 27th Aug 2021. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Giants Grave (Breamore) submitted by JimChampion on 30th May 2005. May 2005. Looking north at the Breamore Giant's Grave long barrow, with its new rabbit-proof-fence and sign which asks you to respect the monument and stay outside the perimeter fence. The axis of the barrow points uphill, which is unusual round these parts.

Date Added: 10th May 2023
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Aug 2021. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
Knap Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 31st May 2005. May 2005. Knap barrow under a big sky. It is located on a hilltop on Toyd Down - pleasant in the summer and exposed in the winter. This view is looking north, with the low irregular profile of the barrow clearly visible. The far (NW) end is becoming overgrown with bushes.

Grans Barrow
Date Added: 10th May 2023
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Aug 2021. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
Grans Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 31st May 2005. May 2005. A view of the Grans barrow's western side (its tidier side), all 60 metres of it. I had to run to take this photo before a huge black cloud plunged the area into a murk for hours. I've been here twice before and on both occasions it was a dull contrastless day. Lovely and warm on this occasion, with wildlife everywhere - a real contrast to the winter.

Whitsbury
Date Added: 10th May 2023
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Aug 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
Whitsbury submitted by JimChampion on 30th May 2005. May 2005. Looking east across the dry valley at Whitsbury hillfort - its ramparts are hidden beneath the dense tree cover. The defences on the hill were first constructed in the early Iron Age, and were reinforced in medieval times. The grassy bank running up the centre of the photo is a medieval boundary earthwork. A Bronze Age boundary earthwork (Grim's Ditch) runs underneatht the hillfort but little remains of it at the surface in this area.

Breamore Miz-Maze
Date Added: 10th May 2023
Site Type: Turf Maze
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Aug 2021. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 4
Breamore Miz-Maze submitted by JimChampion on 30th May 2005. May 2005. A composite image of the miz maze, taken from the vantage point of a tree stump to the north of the maze. It is in very good condition, and this is probably because of its relatively remote location and surrounding fence.
