I first became aware of this site after seeing it mentioned on Megalithic.
I think I viewed the Barrow across the fields between the houses although there was no chance of a closer look due to the area being fenced off. It appeared no more than a low mound – virtually ploughed out. Not worth the effort in all honesty. On the plus side it is very close to both St Lythams and Tinkinswood burial chambers which are most definitely worth a visit!
