Long Barrow in Hampshire
A Neolithic long barrow in Nutbane has been excavated in 1957 by Faith Morgan. The oldest structure built in this place was an enclosure in which contained four pits, probably postholes of a Neolithic mortuary house. In this structure three skeletons (two males and one child) were discovered. Later the larger mortuary house has been build. After that the timber chamber has been filld with earth.
The long barrow was 60 m long and 26 m wide. Not visible traces of it survived till nowdays - the mound is completely ploughed out.
