Visited: July 1, 2016 Grave Mound No 6 is the most northerly in the Westerheide, and a walk of 1½ kilometres from the starting point beside Mounds No 8/9. It's a shapely grassy mound that must be close to three metres high and about 14 metres wide, easily seen on approach. Almost the entire approach is on good paths and only the final 50 metres requires a tramp through heather. |

Westerheide 2-5 (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes |

Visited: June 17, 2015 This is a tight cluster of four barrows occupying an area of 60 × 50 metres. Westerheide Mound No 2 The terrain in Westerheide provides excellent walking over short heather and grasses so, if you are confident of your directions, you can simply make straight for the mound. Alternatively, there is a choice of paths that will take you close to it. On approach, this green grassy mound—the southernmost of the group—stands out well against the heather, and looks rather bigger than it really is because it is perched on a natural rise in the terrain. There is actually a path that traverses it. The barrow is between 2 and 3 metres tall and some 15 metres wide. Visited: July 1, 2016 Westerheide Mound No 3, the northernmost, is a substantial mound almost 3 metres in height and about 20 metres in width, and a virtual twin of Mound 2. The barrow is between 2 and 3 metres tall and some 18 metres wide. Westerheide Mound No 4 is a small barrow, barely one metre tall and about 5 metres wide. Westerheide Mound No5 is another diminuitive barrow, about 1½ metres tall, lying just a handful of metres southwest of No 4. It's about 5 metres in width. |

Visited: July 1, 2016 This is a fairly conspicuous Grave Mound, rising from the heath to a height of approximately 2½ metres. Its lower slopes are clad in heather but it has a conspicuous broad, green and grassy summit. The map shows the walking route from the entrance to the reserve, a distance of 650 metres on good paths followed by a 50 metre walk across short heather. |
