Walked up through Harptree Combe to take a look at Garrowpipe Spring on a pleasant Sunday morning – dry, bit of a breeze and good visibility. There was a good flow of water in the previously noted collapse. The more I look at this site, the more I think “what an interesting little digging project this would be”. The site has been dug in the past by the Bristol Exploration Club in 1972. Barrington and Stanton (1977) record a mean daily flow of 40 000 gallons with no proved feeders.

Bronze Age barrow with ditch, one of a small group of barrows, located in Stockhill Woods, Priddy, Mendip. As with many of the barrow’s found on Mendip it has been subjected to the attentions of the Rev. Skinner in the 19th century.
