An aerial view of the headland (right of centre) and Friar’s Point (left of centre) from Bull Cliff. On the far horizon Steep Holm island and Brean Down (barrows, hillfort) in Somerset can be made out.

Looking west from Cold Knap point to the Bulwarks promontory fort (wooded, centre). If the blue dot on Coflein is indicative, the destroyed barrow would have been roughly where this picture was taken from.

Cold Knap point from Little Island. Nice location for a coastal barrow, but sadly it’s gone now.

Coflein information for this now-vanished coastal barrow:

In 1958 fragments of a narrow rim cinerary urn were found, and in 1967 a portion of a small collared urn in an inverted position, resting on a thin charcoal layer overlain by rubble 0.3m thick.
No traces of the barrow now remain.
