Pen Hill Long Barrow View all content for Pen Hill

[visited circa may 2006] Back again again. I've revisited this site several times since my first notes, it used to be on my way home and was ideal for a 1/2 hour chill from the hectic life(tm). Anyhow, I've also revisited my thoughts on the potential bank barrow. Having seen all of the visible ones in Dorset from the ground, I think this definately qualifies to be classed alongside them. Its certainly as long and if this land has been ploughed a lot, the lesser height and width can be explained easily. More importantly in my mind: - its older than the obviously old stone wall that cuts across it. - it seems to be thicker at the higher end - it has no defensive use - it points at the long barrow Anyone in the area who's also seen a 'proper' bank barrow should go have a look!
