This memory gives a taste of the places that interest me. This is from a visit to the Belas Knap Neolithic Long Barrow. This is part of the "Cotswald-Severn" group, and is managed by English heritage.

Photo of a row of upright stones arranged with the tallest in the middle to form a frontage to the end of a long mound, covered and surrounded by short grass.

Photo of the inside of an ancient chambered tomb, formed by massive stones, and lit at the far end by a modern skylight.

one of four burial chamber at Belas Knap, a neolithic chambered Long Barrow ( more than 5000 years old) on Cleeve Hill, Gloucestershire, England. #belasknap #gloucestershire #longbarrow #cotswolds #england

Ancient Britain was a landmass on the northwest of the continent of Europe first occupied by humans c. 800,000 years ago prior to it becoming an island c. 6000 BCE due to flooding which separated it from the mainland. #History #RomanBritain #LongBarrow #Gildas #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/britain/

Unlike Wayland's Smithy, the burial chambers here are easily accessible to visitors. Bones, pottery & stone implements found within were dated between 2600-3000BC.

Standing atop the long barrow, Silbury Hill (a #PreHistoric artificial chalk mound) can be be clearly seen across the fields.

What a place!

A view from within the dark burial chambers of West Kennet long barrow. A couple can be seen in the entrance way of the chamber.

A view from the path approaching West Kennet long barrow, across a bright yellow rapeseed crop, towards Silbury Hill, a large artificial chalk mound. Behind it, unseen, lies Avebury stone circle.

Wayland's Smithy yesterday for #StandingStoneSunday. A marvellous, if much restored, #Neolithic long barrow in Oxfordshire, lying just off the Ridgeway long distance path. I didn't have a horse that needed shoeing, but legend says this is the place for a magical smithing job.

Four megaliths guard the entrance to a small chamber set into a long mound of earth. The barrwbis surrounded by beech trees. The wide angle of the photo creates the impression that the trees are leaning over the mound.

For #TombTuesday this is Windmill Tump Neolithic long barrow near Rodmarton in Gloucestershire.

It's been damaged by excavation, but has the remains of several chambers.

#Folklore tells of a tunnel running from the chambers (I don't know where to) and a fabled golden coffin.

Visited January 2010.

#Neolithic #Gloucestershire #LongBarrow

A long mound, covered with grass and enclosed inside a neat drystone wall. The top of the mound has mature beech trees growing from it, leafless in winter. It's a very bright and sunny day, the sky is an intense, clear blue. It's cold.

A long barrow is a class of Middle Neolithic (approximately 3500-2700 BCE) burial monument which is found extensively throughout the British Isles and is related to other forms of contemporary tomb-building traditions of north-western Europe, particularly that of northern France.
