Looking west over the Tump… albeit a very low feature it is nonetheless clearly defined.

Shentons Tump

Round Barrow(s)

spencer May 7, 2025

While on our way along the track to Kerry Ring armed with an out of date OS map I did a double take.. eh, what’s this? Only later did I find that it was listed here. It is a skyline feature as soon as you get to the end of the forestry when coming from Black Wood car park – I had thought from a distance it was Kerry Ring. Superb views from here – until the replanted pine forestry along the ridge overlooking Kerry obscure that direction. Do ‘do’ the Kerry Ridgeway if you get the chance. So many sites and vistas. I’ve yet to complete it. Next time, touch wood.

Round Barrow(s)

About 150 yards from Kerry hill stone circle, the barrow occupies the very highest point of the hill and is only half a metre high but is defined by a shallow ditch around it. Mega view.
