Came Down Golf Club

Barrow / Cairn Cemetery

formicaant Apr 17, 2007

I drive past this place most days , can’t understand the golf thing , but it does keep the barrows in good nick. This is part of the south Dorset ridgeway chain of monuments , which must be one of the largest concentrations of barrows in the country. All types and sizes of barrow are included in this group and the golf club barrows are some of the best preserved.
