Visited 9.12.11

Directions: Easy to find - just to the north of the A44 – a short distance east of Rhayader.
There is room to park on the grass verge opposite the Barrow.

The Barrow is easy to spot in the middle of the field from the A44.
Access is up and over the field gate.
It is approximately 20 metres across and 2 metres high – covered in trees.

The Barrow looks to be in good condition and COFLEIN states that the Barrow is undisturbed.

While I was visiting I was fortunate to spot 5 Red Kites in the next field. One of them was hovering very low and I had a great view of the wing patterns. Wonderful sight.
