Photo taken by me 12th Dec 2009 on field trip with SPTA Imber Conservation Group.
Barrow has now been meshed to prevent further rabbit/badger damage, and the grass is recovering well.
Visited this location on 9th March 2008. The ditch surrounding the barrow is infilled but the barrow itself is clearly distinguishable.
There is some damage to the monument as a result of the erection of a galvanised water tank on its western end. There are a further two or three derelict water tanks lying around on the barrow and in the hedges.
Condition reported to English Heritage National Monuments Record, who are sending one of the Field Monument Wardens to take a look.
