I have now managed to take a picture of this barely visible site. It is north of the hillfort in a barrow cemetery of mixed types. The long barrow is very denuded by ploughing and can only be seen in certain light conditions. Grinsell thought it "a doubtful long barrow" English Heritage have done a geophysical survey and found ditches and a bank consistent with a long barrow. formicaant Posted by formicaant
