Hey, very observant! how nice to have your speculation Officially confirmed. As for "often bored others riders that that mound must be a barrow of some description" that made me smile - you are itching to tell someone but when you do you can see their poor eyes start glazing. I'm sure it happens to most people here. Ah, at least you can tell us.

Phhww. So I'm not the only one. It is a special glazed look that comes across people. Usually get (once at Avebury) "Once you've seen one rock you've seen them all" and at Caerwent (Roman Fort) "It's just a pile rocks"

If there are loads of riders in the group. I will try and get a covert snap of an interesting site. When I plan routes I'll will try and come close to a site I want to visit without them noticing.

It's good to get a site confirmed.

I know of two others in another wood with trackways etc. and they don't turn up on any map. It must of been a friday when OS surveyors visited ;-)
