Breach Farm Barrows

Visited 17.7.11

Directions: from the town of Cowbridge take the B4270 south west and the Barrows can be found on the right shortly before the junction with the B4268.
Originally there were 5 Barrows here although I could only (just about) see the remains of two of them. I doubt these two will be with us much longer.
I parked by the bus stop (south of the site) and walked back up the road before hopping over a metal field gate.
Although there was very little to see (two slight mounds in the middle of a field), it turned out that these were the best preserved Barrows I was going to see today!
All in all very little to recommend a visit.

COFLEIN has this to say:
‘One of a group of five barrows, c.46m in diameter and 0.8m high, spread and mutilated.
