Collapsed Barrow Gate
Twisted remnants of a heavy gate lie crumpled across Constable Groom's crushed corpse at the Devil's End barrow entrance. The Doctor and Jo discover the wreckage upon arrival; he mutters 'Poor fellow' with clinical detachment while scanning the site, she steels herself to follow him inside. A gargoyle statue looms above, linking the destruction to darker forces.
