Race Down

Long Barrow

Fieldnotes

This long barrow is on M.O.D. land, part of Blandford camp, but public footpaths cross the site so access is allowed. I got there via Tarrant Monkton, drive up a dead end track with a turning circle at its end, park and follow the footpath.
The barrow is well worth the effort, its in great condition, this has been an army camp for two hundred years, so agriculture hasn't harmed it. It has a very wide base, I couldn't get close enough to see any side ditches.
