This site is a disgrace. It should be protected from further ploughing erosion, have its piles of former excavation debris re-organised and be reinstated to look like a long barrow. (O.K., it won't be original but it would look its part in the landscape.)

Excavations in 1965 revealed that this monument was in use over many periods. It was probably a simple passage grave which was later joined with a round barrow to form a long barrow.
