What the barrow cemetery used to look like before most of it was ploughed out.

The bowl barrow with the bank barrow to the right of it.

The barrow from White Horse hill to the north.

A small bowl barrow on a hill to the east, between is what remains of Mount Pleasant henge.

Conquer barrow is in the clump of trees, the crop mark about a third of the way down the photo is what remains of the bank of Mount Pleasant henge.

The very large, tree covered Conquer barrow from the south.

Two bowl barrows from the road down the valley.

Gorse covered bell barrow across the road from the east end of the bank barrow.

The long barrow is in the centre of the photo, on the top of the ridge, now appearing much reduced by the plough.
