Image of Sandy Barrow (West Stafford) (Round Barrow(s)) by formicaant

An absolute pig to photograph, hidden in dense undergrowth and trees as it is, this is a bowl barrow about a 1/2 mile west of Huck Barrow.

Sandy Barrow (West Stafford)

Round Barrow(s)

formicaant Mar 29, 2010

I have wanted to include this barrow for a long time but have never been able to actually see it. Thanks to our hard winter and late spring the undergrowth is low enough for me to take a photo of it. It is a bowl barrow in reasonable condition, some tree damage but no apparent excavation signs.
It lies in a valley and is just off a small road that leads to a farm, it appears to be part of a scattered group, to the west is at least one barrow on Whitcombe hill and to the east is Huck Barrow.
