Parley Barrow

Round Barrow(s)

formicaant May 5, 2008

This large bowl barrow is now completely surrounded by a modern housing estate. It is in relatively poor condition and is covered in large pine and cedar trees, it is surrounded by rhoddodendron bushes on its southern and eastern sides. This is probably one of the most accessible barrows anywhere.
