The winter sun begins to slip below the horizon to the right of this large round barrow.

From the north(ish).... despite being winter, the barrow remains seriously overgrown due to bramble.

What lies beneath..... for me the covering of fern enhances the vibe of this mound.

Relaxing, drinking coffee upon this round barrow was quite a surreal experience.... the microcosm in macrovision.

Found it rather difficult to capture this site in overcast, windy conditions, so probably need to return on a crisp winter’s day.

Totally overgrown and therefore concealed from the casual gaze of passers by – at least outside of winter, I guess – this is nonetheless a quite significant round barrow..

From the EH record of Scheduled Monuments:

The monument includes a bowl barrow situated in Conyfield Wood, on the
floodplain of the River Blackwater. The hemispherical earth mound measures
21m in diameter and c.1.7m in height. Also identifiable at ground level is a
3m wide ditch surrounding the mound from which material was quarried during
the construction of the monument. This has become partly infilled over the
years but survives to a depth of c.0.3m on all but the north side, where it
has been cut through by a modern drain which runs alongside a footpath.
