Visit Notes

Friday, 22nd March 2002

Sadly not one barrow remains prominent above ground level anymore. It is possible to make out the faint cropmarks that show where the ground has been disturbed, but that is all.

Not really worth a visit.

Directions

These are so hard to distinguish that I will not give directions. Real die-hards should use the OS. I approached them from the cairn at Knockannavea.
