Seen from Kenslow Knoll. Barrow can be seen on horizon to the left of the trees.

Mystery stone in field on approach to round barrow.

Mystery stone in field on approach to round barrow. The barrow is in the trees in the background.

Overgrown but still clearly visible from the path that takes you round the woodland.

Very overgrown but the mound is still visible.

We came to these on the way back to Carnasserie Castle car park from Ormaig. They look really close together from that angle, until you get up to them and then realise that they are a couple of metres apart.

View of the rock art in its context – if you follow the line of spruce trees from the right of the photo to where they end, the rock art is in a grassy patch below the last trees, between two patches of clear-felling.

With sea in the background for context – sorry for the wonkiness of this picture!

You can see that the black stuff mentioned in rockartuk’s post has increased – I reckon it’s some kind of lichen.

Recent offerings to the god of crisps at Nine Ladies!

Bank and ditch

The bank can be clearly seen on the left (husband and dog provide scale) and it continues on the right of the track too, just visible behind the trees. There is a substantial ditch on the right as well. I don’t know whether the bank has been cut by the newer track or whether the track has always had an entrance there.

The barrow at Green Low aligned to Minninglow on the horizon. I thought this would come out a bit clearer – you can just make out the bump in the grass!

Horned forecourt

Looking from the back of Green Low passage grave through the entrance aligned directly with Harboro’ Rocks (the pointy peak in the background).

Winter Solstice sunset over Barbrook 1. The people in the photo were in the circle. I was up at the cairn.
