Barely visible on the Environment Agency lidar (grey icon next to that for CamRA) - a good example of a long barrow that has been almost ploughed out.

Prior to visiting this neolithic Long Barrow today I took the opportunity of carrying out some research - strangely this Barrow is not worthy of a mention in the famed George Witts Archaeological Handbook of the County of Gloucester 1887 but a Bronze Age Bowl Barrow about 300m to the east is - and to get to the Bowl Barrow you have to pass along the same footpath from Woodleaze Farm - to make matters worse, this Long Barrow still stands quite prominently (1m) on a SW/NE axis and is about 30m long and 12m wide! - the Bowl Barrow has almost disappeared (but I shall be posting a page on this website giving a little more information about it) -

The Long Barrow is mentioned elsewhere:-
(a) Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 1960 Vol79 p82
(b) The County Gazetteer by Daniel/Corcoran/Darvill and Grinsell - 1950-1989 as GLO82 and
(c) The pastscape website Gloucestershire: Cotswold: Kingscote: 209037

The Long Barrow is just a short stroll along a public footpath leading east from Woodleaze Farm and you can park easily just off the Wotton or Dursley B Road to Nailsworth via Horsley in the entrance to the driveway to the farm - the views east are beautiful and, if you really do need more of an incentive, that haven of great beer (Old Spot) is just a mile or two west in the delightful village of Uley -
