The western most barrow on the site, also one of the largest.

Looking west across the site from the top of the eastern most barrow.

A shallow boudary ditch edged with slabs of stone.

What appear to be conjoined barrows.

This very battered round barrow is just next to Hardys’ monument, it has animal damage and is constantly walked upon.

The most westerly of the group, this overlooks the Valley of the Stones.

The larger of two bowl barrows, just below and to the north of the Hardy monument.

Two of the eastern bowl barrows from the path to Bronkham Hill.

The barrow is just right of centre in the photo, this is as close as I could get to it.

The hillfort from the east, above the deserted village of Tyneham.

Some of the group from the hill to the south.

The hillfort from the valley below, looking north west.

This shows just how much archaeology is in this small corner of south west Dorset. The blue dots are round barrows.

A small, low round barrow to the south of the monument, the wooden posts are there to stop people parking on it!

The large round barrow adjacent to the Hardy monument on the summit of Blackdown hill.

The Hellstone and what appears to be either a round barrow or part of the original long barrow mound. The stones are in the left hand corner, the photo was taken from Hardy’s monument to the north.

This is a 1759 engraving by J.Newton and it hangs on my bedroom wall. The view itself would be impossible now as everthing is hugely built up.

The full length view of the western inner bank from the northern bank.

Looking east along the length of the north rampart.

The ditch between the two western ramparts.

The bowl barrow in the interior of the fort.

This is the northern most barrow in the eastern half of the group.

This is the eastern most of the group.

This low barrow is south east of the central barrow.

This large barrow is south west of the central barrow.

Apair of barrows in the centre of the group.

This is immediately east of the central barrow and is a rarity this far west as it is a bell type.

This large , low barrow is just west of the one with the trig point on it.

This is the central and largest barrow of this group, with trig point.

The barrow from the east.

Setta barrow from the south, just below the Five barrows.

The westernmost of four barrows.

There are two barrows here, the eastern one is the larger and has the telegraph pole on its east side.
