The distant clump is the site of an undated round barrow. This landscape has a slightly surreal feel to it; being a military area since 1916 has protected it from modern incursion. Thomas Hardy might have recognised the ambience. Road users are warned not to climb over the wire fences into the hinterland. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porton_Down
