interesting enough according to the guy in the house at the end of the track and in the corner of the square – Britains first windmill was built a couple of hundred yards North west of the barrow site – recorded and documented by the BBC.

As for the barrows/henge? well I couldn't get near enough to them as the crops were very very young but from 200 hundred metres away you can see a slight dome – well ploughed out now.
