Visited 18.3.12 In a nutshell I couldn’t see it! There are two entrances to Bourton Hill Farm (lots of ‘private’ signs) and I had a good look for the Barrow at both from the road. The only thing I can think of is the Barrow is actually somewhere along one of the drives and not visible from the road? Comments (2)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Visited 5.9.2009 from Farmington round barrow. Wins Barrow has been in the wars somewhat (see Miscellaneous post) but is still there - the road actually runs a few yards to the east. It has a fence/gate right on top of it, and sits unloved by the side of a driveway. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Wins Barrow is on the crest of Bourton Hill. It's right on the parish boundary - or rather, perhaps, the parish boundary is right on it. Perhaps that's why it's also cut right through by a road, which also follows the boundary. Er, so there isn't much to see here. The barrow is mentioned in a Saxon charter from 779AD, where it is called 'Winesbeorg'. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
