Approx north toward the long barrow. Two fine monuments for the price of one here......

Nice setting.... not OTT, but well placed.

Unfortunatley not all critters are as co-operative as the local moles.... unless this blighter misunderstood ‘barrow’ for ‘burrow’? Hey, easily done. The long barrow can just be discerned top left.

Quite a decent-sized round barrow, to be fair. Seems the local mole population had me beaten all ends up in respect of fieldwork’.....

Lechmore Round Barrows

Seen from Lechmore long barrow, the two are intervisible from each other. The round barrow sits at the top of a ridge, overlooking steep valley to the east. From a distance the top appears flattened, which may well indicate excavation scarring (I didn’t approach to check this out).

After passing the barrow, the footpath curves round to the SE. As it passes through a gateway (ST864973), there is a nicely squared upright slab of limestone next to the waymark – could easily be nothing of course.
