Came across this striking obelisk at dusk while bikepacking the Ridgeway. The monument stands on an ancient barrow, just off a well-trodden section of the trail. Its silhouette caught in the fading light made for a quietly memorable moment. There’s a small nearby car park and good access, but in the evening it felt remote and peaceful.

I found a discreet wild camping spot within 2 km of here — the surrounding downs offer open views.
