The northern of the pair of Ugworthy Barrows seen from the lane just west of Borough Cross. Early or late on this sunny summer solstice would have been a much better time to capture it; it lies just over 100 metres from the camera and can best be appreciated by looking at how the hedge behind it is obscured. The bowl barrow is described at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1017977 : "as an oval mound 41m long from north to south and 38.7m wide from east to west and 1.4m high".
