Manton Long Barrow
Manton Long Barrow submitted by Bladup : When Manton chambered longbarrow was destroyed, the stones were moved to 148714, these are those stones and they are huge, maybe one one they will be put back where they belong, as there are plans of the site before they were moved and we know were it was, so it's possible.

This site was destroyed by the farmer some time ago. Large stones piled up at the edge of the field may be the remains of the chamber.

    Hey..just wanted to say that this is still at the grid ref 14787135..
    The mound and kerb was destroyed in the 50's but the chamber remains(collapsed in the same position as in an old drawing).. confirmed by someone at the original mound and kerb destruction at the grid ref above.
