Visit Notes

Sunday, 27th January 2002

Another unscheduled stop. This mound is quite picturesque with a large tree growing out of one side. At some point someone has shored up one side with some dry stone walling.

The surrounding hedgerows make it difficult to approach despite it being just 30m from the road.
