Barrow Cemeteries in Cumbria, England
4 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
18,000 years ago Cumbria was covered in a deep blanket of ice. This ice sheet scoured the country of all pre-existing life. When the ice eventually retreated, a rich forest of deciduous trees took its place - a thick dense wood which climbed much higher up the slopes of the Cumbrian mountains than the trees grow today. The hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period gradually came north into this wilderness.
A collection of round barrows, long barrows etc. Usually a sacred area used over thousands of years for burials. See also Round Barrow(s)
