Brownsea Island from Shipstal Point on the mainland.

Although not strictly from this site, but from a flat site near the hamlet of Whitcombe below, this is the"Whitcombe Warrior”.

This is possibly the most bably damaged barrow I’ve seen, the field side is almost entirely ploughed away and the road has cut away a large section of the mound. This is numbered as Bincombe 31 (Grinsell et al.)

One of the most westerly of the group, this has been much reduced by ploughing.

These are part of the contents of barrow no. 7, the one nearest the reservoir, in Dorset County Museum.
