Tich Barrow - 1.4.2003

This massive barrow is right next to the A39, just over a kilometre south of Otterham Station. It stands on the brow of the hill (near a side road to Davidstow) a few metres away from a transmitter station. The barrow has possibly been probably been damaged a bit by the lay-by (now partly closed) on its South East side and also possibly by the main road on its North West side.

There are three other barrows in the area although none of sheer scale of Tich Barrow; one in the field across the road to the West (approx SX145881), and two in a sheep field across the road to the North (approx SX148884).
