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.
