Although not spectacular in itself it is a small triumph for conservation. A few years ago, Roy Canham, the then County Archaeologist for Wilts ,was concerned that a track used by the army was damaging the end of the barrow. After consultation with the MOD the protecting posts were moved further E and the track diverted. (The other mounds are modern army constructions) This is a convenient place to park for Old Ditch Longbarrow and White Barrow but read the warning on the first site. Access Park opposite the prominent water tower on the Tilshead to Chitterne road. The barrow is right next door.
