This group of four round barrows lie to the south of the Dorset Ridgeway. It is to the north of the coastal village of Ringstead. The barrows are medium sized bowl types in reasonable condition. The best way to approach them is to park in the free national trust car park and walk the 100 yards or so along the road to the barrows.
These barrows are split by the road that leads to a National Trust car park, two are south of the road and two north of it.
