Another easy site to access.

Park on the minor road to the east and a short walk brings you to the Barrow.
The Barrow has 4 mature trees and 4 saplings growing out of the top of it.
The whole Barrow has nettles growing all over it although I was able to make out a shallow hollow dug into the top and side of the Barrow. No doubt dug into it at some point in the past?

As I said, an easy site to visit although not a huge amount to see.
