Nice and easy this one. Park opposite Marlwood School and look for the field gate opposite Quarry Road. From the field gate the Barrow is easily seen. The field had recently been ploughed and as it was raining I didn't fancy getting covered in mud and therefore viewed from the gate. The Barrow was covered in long grass so stood out well against the ploughed brown soil.
