#Ockham common upgrade

Note: Expensive (and marginal) upgrade for the A3 / M25 junction to further damage the setting of this lovely Surrey barrow and its partner (in yellow) Go over the footbridge and follow the path to the right. To visit this and the other nearby barrow, park in the Ockham Common Car Park (accessed from the M25 roundabout by going down the slip road leading to the southbound A3 and turn left onto Old Lane.) From the car park walk past the snack bar and north towards the footbridge over the A3. Further consultation to follow.Įxcavation in 1911 yielded an unaccompanied cremation two feet below the top of the mound. It is very close to the M25 / A3 roundabout which is due to be upgraded with 'Option 14' - shown left. The mound is tree covered, and has been eroded away in part by footpaths, but is otherwise in fairly good condition. In the middle of nowhere, a nightmare to findĬo-ordinates taken by GPS or official recorded co-ordinatesĮxternal Links: Image: Cockrow Hill Bell Barrow submitted by Andy BĪ large bell barrow, 42m in diameter, 3.3m high, is situated upon the top of a rise of ground on heathland.
