We didn’t investigate this one further. Seen from Newton Bank track to the west.

Newton Mulgrave round barrow, October 2024.

The much less impressive round barrow across the road to the southwest. Apologies for the glare, looking into the sun gave the only angle where the ‘mound’ stood out enough from the deep heather to be visible!

Looking southwest. There is another (smaller) barrow in front of the tree-line, and a further barrow and standing stone which we didn’t visit in the forestry.

The top of the barrow. It benefits from what the holiday brochure would call “sea glimpses”.

The flat-topped round barrow.

Newton Mulgrave long barrow, October 2024.

The long mound from its western end.

Looking down to the coast at Hinderwell. Hinderwell Beacon round barrow crowns the little hill in the centre of the shot.

It’s a pretty big monument, even if it is reduced from its original size.

The eastern end of the long barrow.

I really liked this, it’s a very good barrow in a lovely location. I haven’t been to many long barrows that look out over the sea.

Big skies over the barrow at NZ77171390, October 2024.

Stone visible on top of the barrow at NZ77171390.
