Thornwell

After a visit to Bulwarks Camp (27.2.2010), a quick trip round the footpath south past comes out in the Thornwell housing estate (formerly Thornwell farm).

It is great that the long barrow has survived the building of the estate, but the surroundings are hardly attractive. There are some visible megaliths, but I found it quite difficult to make much sense of what I was looking at. I also failed to spot the nearby round barrow – doh!
