Looking west. The skyline hills are Heath Mynd (cairn), Corndon Hill (many cairns) and The Stiperstones (cairns). It’s probably possible to see Pumlumon and maybe Cader Idris between Corndon and The Stiperstones.

The mound beneath the heather is most obvious on its northeastern side. Looking towards the gliding club. The OS map shows further barrows along the ridge to the left.

Looking southeast towards the Clee Hills, Callow Hill and Norton Camp. The Malverns are visible on the far centre skyline, but difficult to see at this resolution.

Minton Hill
Round Barrow(s)

English Heritage description:

The monument includes a substantial round barrow situated on the summit of Minton Hill. The barrow is visible as a circular, well defined stony mound, 16m in diameter and 1m high. The flattened summit of the mound has been disturbed by exploration at some time in the past creating a central hollow 2m in diameter and 0.3m deep. Although no longer discernible as a surface feature, a ditch, from which material was quarried during the construction of the monument, surrounds the mound. This has become infilled over the years but survives as a buried feature some 2m wide.
