Canford Heath

Barrow / Cairn Cemetery

formicaant Dec 5, 2009

I fully intended to walk this site today, but as you can see from the photo taken at midday it was not a good day to be out and about. There are 10 bowl barrows spread across an upland heath area now surrounded by houses. On the next day it isn’t peeing down with rain I will visit these barrows and take some proper photos.
