This large round barrow is sited on the western flank of Sidbury Hill.

It used to stand at the crossroads of two trackways used by tanks, you can imagine how it came to be called the Hot Cross Bun.

The army is more sympathetic to the ancient remains lying on its land nowadays, hence it is now out-of-bounds to all army vehicles.
