Wooded barrows generate mixed emotions in me.... sure, there’s the damage by roots. But trees may spare the monument the ravages of the mountain bike wheel.... and sunlight sends the vibe into the stratosphere.

Private woods, eh? I seem to approach from the only direction there aren’t any signs. Strange, that. But true again.
