Visited 19.7.11 Saw this site marked on the O/S map and mentioned on Megalithic. I parked next to the Brendon Hill Methodist Church (just off the B3190). Then it was a short walk across the road, over the new wooden stile and a flat walk to the Barrow. Access is easy as there is a public right of way to the Barrow. This was an unusual site which I liked a lot, despite the Barrow being much mangled. Someone in the past has planted a ring of trees around the Barrow which are now fully matured and whose roots have interlocked with each other. This has formed a sort of low 'wall' of roots. (Reminded me of the tree roots you see at the ruins in Jungle Book – where Baloo the bear has his song/dance!!) Despite being quite close to the road the site feels fairly secluded and quiet. I would heartily recommend a visit when you happen to be in the area.
