An old barrow in the field This bowl barrow north of the B3139 is one of a few in the area. It is about 30m (98 ft) in diameter, 1.8m (6ft) high and has traces of a surrounding ditch. A scheduled monument, it may be from as early as the Neolithic period. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7146054">ST6050 : Trees on a tumulus</a> for another south of here.

Milepost on the B3139 Leaning slightly but in fair condition, seeing as it's the wrong side of the barrier for safety. A marker of some sort has stood here for well over a century.

Getting to the Emborough road The footpath crosses a field and this drainage ditch before reaching the main road. Fortunately, the barbed wire is sheathed at the appropriate point and the footstep is cleared of fence wire; it's not that accessible despite that.

Trees on a tumulus One of a number in the area, this bowl barrow is close to Emborough and is possibly believed to date back to the Bronze Age. It is about 32m in diameter and 2.5m high, with evidence of a berm surrounding it. The trees have shielded the outline somewhat.
