Visited a barrow yesterday which doesn't seem to be on here, and I'm wondering if it's actually the Elkstone Barrow which has been given the wrong grid ref. I've added photos - on the OS map it's marked by the side of the road which goes from Colesbourne to the A417 Chelt - Ciren road, at SO 974 116.
Any Gloucestershire people know?

Thanks Emma. I can only assume Rhiannon was off with her fairies that day as the MAGIC map doesn't seem to show any long barrows near Elkstone, and nothing at the original grid reference. I have renamed the site according to this

and your photos are now here

if you want to add any further notes.
Thank you,
TMA Ed.

Sorry I read that as Wrong, Ref. A phrase I'm more used to :-)
