On saturday 2nd sept., we visited the Grey Mare and her Colts, having walked from the nearby Kingston Russel stone circle, which is just up the bridle path and worth a view. The location is wonderful, on the hills overlooking the south Dorset coastline and Portland below you. In a field, up against the hedgerow is a longbarrow, looking complete, if small, with beautiful uprights and small stones visable all around the edge.
Unmarked, unregarded, it’s a gem. I lived 20 minuites from this site until I was 18 and never knew about this place until I read the Antiquarian.
It’s easy to access with an OS map and you’ll find yourself somewhere beautiful.
