Folklore

North Down
Barrow / Cairn Cemetery

Katy Jordan describes her spooky experiences on the Beckhampton to Devizes road in her book 'The Haunted Landscape':

At one time I used to travel this road quite often at night, and after passing the Beckhampton roundabout I would usually start to feel uneasy, as if there was something in the car behind me, and I would find myself looking in the mirror to check. This feeling of uneasiness would not lift until I crossed Wansdyke, and for some reason I always associated it with the round barrows in the area. Quite recently, and without knowing of my experience here, my friend Alison Borthwick told me that she often hears people calling to each other on just this section of road.
