Long Barrows in Oxfordshire, England
9 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
Oxfordshire is blessed with a wide variety of ancient monuments. To the south, on the edge of chalk downs, can be found the Uffington White Horse, the only British hill-figure to be verified as prehistoric. Nearby, along the Ridgeway, lies Waylands Smithy chambered long barrow, restored to its former glory. To the north, on the eastern limits of the Cotswolds, stand most of the counties standing stones, amongst round barrows and the remains of Cotswold-Severn type long barrows.
Elongated roughly rectangular structure that may contain many burial chambers. Long barrows appear to have been in constant use with burials being added over a period of centuries, the old bones being moved around to accommodate the new interment. It is thought that bones may even have been removed for ritual use, particularly the skulls and leg bones. See also the separate listings for Chambered Tomb and Chambered Cairn.
