Despite the fact that this formidable Long Barrow has suffered many excavations and is now under yearly attack from the plough it has quite a strong presence being some 60m long (West to East) 20m wide (North to South) and about 1.5m high - it is reasonably easy to visit along a Bridleway some 300m WNW of the Fosseway -

Early excavations disclosed three chambers which contained the remains of several adults and children of both sexes - the currently highly visible stones mark a false portal at the eastern end but the brambles are beginning to smother them - there is no remaining evidence of any side ditches -

Mentioned on pastscape - Wiltshire; Nettleton; 208304 Position ST83057855 - the site is still quite impressive

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
