Badly Damaged Long Mound with Chambered Tomb in Gloucestershire

This mound has been badly damaged by ploughing. Two possible stones from the burial chamber lie at the eastern end.

From 4clydesdale7: A pleasantly sited Neolithic Chambered Tomb Long Barrow which has been damaged (but not too severely) over time by the plough. Orientated E/W it is 40m by 30m and about 0.8m high with two stones protruding on the E side.

Reported in the County of Gloucester Gazetteer by Daniel/Corcoran/Darvill/Grinsell as GLO66 but unusually ignored by George Witts 1883 who seemed to miss a lot near the Glos/Oxon borders. Well reported by BGAS 1960 Vol.79 p 69 and pastscape 329667 Gloucestershire; Cotswolds; Aldsworth.

Easy to visit and so worth a trip (Windrush Camp also close-by).
