View from the road 6.6.12

All I could make out from the minor road to the north was two slight ‘bumps’ on the horizon.

Canmore states:
‘The remains of 14 barrows, in two distinct groups, composed mainly of earth with some stones visible. The western group are situated on the top of a prominent ridge. The eastern group at the bottom of the same ridge’.
