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.


Yes, the long barrow is right in the course (I think they may have stopped using the green next to it). Painswock is terrible, because it's such a great site otherwise. Cleeve Hill has a golf course next to the fort as well. Then there's the Bromfield barrows near Ludlow (if you don't get hit by a golf ball you might get run over by a racehorse). Some coastal barrows we found on the Lizard this summer are on a course too. There are plenty of Scottish examples too. Can't think of any as badly treated as this one of Gladman's though.
