‘Visited’ 20.6.10.
I drove past this site on the way to Runston Chapel (CADW site). Driving along the lane to the south, the small conical hill is easily seen. Time was against me and it looked like one of those sites which are best viewed from a distance anyway, so I decided not to walk up the hill and settled for a view from the road.

Disputed Antiquity
The National Monument Record decribes a ‘roughly oval’ enclosure of unknown age on Willis Hill, but no mention is made of a barrow.
