West Compton Down Burial Chamber View all content for West Compton Down

Visited 13.10.12 That pesky rain cloud was now directly above us and it was pouring down. We pulled into a passing place which conveniently is right next to the remains of the burial chamber. I bravely (or stupidly) jumped out the car to look for a way through/over the neck high barbed wire fence. As I was contemplating easing my way through the fence it soon became apparent I would be drenched in about 5 minutes. Given that there is little to see of the remains (a couple of large stones piled together – which could easily be seen anyway from the road) I decided to settle for a road side view and jump back into the dry of the car. On a dry day I may have attempted a closer look – but not today!
