The two possible barrows of the Wilmington Hill Barrow Cemetery that lie to the east of the trig-station, from the south. 27/7/07.

These need further investigation, in particular the one obscured by bushes on the left.

Wilmington Hill

Barrow / Cairn Cemetery

thelonious Mar 23, 2016

17/03/2016 – Every hill seems to have a tumuli on it round here. This one on Wilmington Hill, ain’t much different looking to the rest but the location is fine and the walk to it is good. A place to stop and just sit by. No need to rush the view.
