Chambered Tomb with Long Mound in Wiltshire

This badly damaged long mound apparently had a chamber at the eastern end.

"Neolithic unchambered long barrow (Grinsell's Avebury 68), excavated 1964-7, and radiocarbon dated to the 3rd millenium bc. Associated finds of pottery, flint, human and animal bone. Grooves scored across the old land surface beneath the barrow have been interpreted as ploughmarks. The barrow, which is in arable land, survives only as an amorphous ground swelling. It is visible as cropmarks on air photographs." - Pastscape monument no. 215484.

Re: Avebury Down South Street by JohnLindsay on Tuesday, 03 April 2012

Excavation of three long barrows near Avebury, Wiltshire
Paul Ashbee, I.F. Smith and J.G. Evans

is Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, and one of the three long barrows is South Street, though I couldn't find that on the OS map.

It was in David Field's Earthen Long Barrows I found it mentioned, with no indication where it is apart from Wiltshire, then I found that it was one of the three discusses in Ashbee... then I found it here. Beckhampton roundabout is a stop for the 49, Swindon to Avebury to Devizes.
