Walked here from Wentwood barrows, on a roundabout route via Five Paths. As I walked along the bridleway I stopped to check the map, and when I looked up noticed that I was actually standing next to the barrow! The easiest way of finding it would be from the path leading NE from Foresters Oaks car park/picnic area. The barrow stands at the junction of two paths - where the footpath hits the E-W bridleway, it's right there. It is surrounded by high vegetation, which obscure the sides of the barrow. The top of the barrow has been cleared, and the stumps of half a dozen trees show that it has been much more covered over at some point.

A very quiet place, with lazy bees droning and birds in the trees the only noise.

After a stop here, it's on to Gray Hill and a steep climb.

Condition good and 17m in diameter. It's near an old trackway and spring.

Large roughly circular earth mound. Approx 20m in dia and 1.3m in height.

Overgrown, poor condition.

Brash line obscuring western edge. Scrub growth obscuring feature such that it is difficult to determine precise extent and nature.
