Our verdict
A quiet spot with genuine archaeological interest for anyone who likes their walks with a bit of prehistory attached, though there's no formal path network or visitor information on site — go in with modest expectations and treat it as an add-on to a longer Pewsey Vale walk.
Open downland on the dramatic line of hills that rises suddenly along the northern edge of the Pewsey plain, named after the Neolithic long barrow on its crest — about 30 metres long, with oolitic limestone in its facade brought from as far as the Frome area, similar in style to the famous West Kennet long barrow.
Open access land — you can roam freely on foot.
