What was previously a 38m diameter 1.5m high Bronze Age Round Barrow (which a 1992 excavation proved was a 'well preserved Barrow') has had what many people would call 'The Mars Bar treatment' (now very much smaller and a lot more costly) - the propaganda states that the reconstructed barrow (a flat topped mound 20m in diameter) 'reflected the original barrow' - well anything is possible these days, especially with considerable imagination, in the Cotswolds - perhaps it should be named 'Designer Barrow' -

Though technically classed as destroyed, after complete excavation in the early 90's. The round barrow was totally rebuilt, including the surrounding ditch. It now stands impresively within a small field to the west of the village centre, close to the small ruined walls of an anglo-saxon church which was excavated at the same time. (photos to follow). SS
