Erm, Priddy?

Bloody golf courses, so many hillforts ruined. Norn's Tump (Glos) long barrow luckily hasn't suffered this badly, although visits will be met with the usual disapproval and tutting. Bastards.


I was up on Minchinhampton Common a couple of weekends ago (when it was still sunny) and noticed there is a much denuded long barrow on the edge of a golf course. The other place I can think of is the hill fort at Painswick Beacon which forms part of a golf course.
