Looking uphill, you can see the profile of the barrow and the odd brick still scattered about.

The foundations of the hut. Normally I’d express some indignation, but this is just daft.

Looking out from the top of the hillock. As the barrow is right on the top of the slope, there is hardly any height to it on this side.

Marchwood Inclosure

Round Barrow(s)

UncleRob Apr 14, 2009

This is a single round barrow on the false brow of the most obvious hillock in the area, overlooking a good expanse of heathland to the south and west. It also overlooks a busy and notoriously dangerous crossroads so don’t expect it to be a sylvan idyll. There is no obvious ditch but that is understandable as a small brick hut was built on top at one point! You can still see the foundations and some bricks scattered about. Hampshire Treasures piqued my interest with the quaint words:

Disturbed by insertion of building.
