A barbed wire fence unfortunately demarcates the monuments from the track... however it was possible to pass over a low section with no damage to either fence of myself at the time of my visit.

Two Tumps

Round Barrow(s)

GLADMAN Apr 29, 2023

Located upon the wondrous Kerry Ridge between – significantly, perhaps? – the sources of the Severn tributary Afon Miwl (River Mule) and Afon Tefeidiad (River Teme), these are two pretty substantial round barrows, albeit sadly isolated from the track by barbed wire Why, oh why do they do this? I was able to cross over without any damage/incident, but please bear this in mind.

Coflein reckons:

SO1177085090: “...24m in diameter and 1.0m high, an excavation trench of 1912, which produced a cinerary urn and details of mound construction, is still apparent.”

SO1167085040: “... 24.5m in diameter and 1.7m high, excavated in 1926 producing numerous flints, an inhumation and three cremation burials.”
