Log Text: To the Archaeology tutor and his faithful 'pupils' - your perseverance and tenacity (in 1972) paid off (see site narrative) - I hope Severn-Trent Water Board (thus they are now known) need to refurbish pipes etc again and that people of your calibre are brought in to investigate - pity about the reservoirs - they are a dreadful eyesore

Log Text: I am intrigued as to why this is also called 'Chastleton Barrow' - could 'Barrow' be a corruption of 'Bury' (in the local dialect where there 'y' is not pronounced) - and it is still populated by horses -

Log Text: North is a Long Barrow and South a Round Barrow according to most commentators - I am not sure I agree - perhaps N was a Long Barrow when it was whole but then S now still looks like a small Long Barrow rather than a Round one (but it is marked Tumulus on the OS Map) or was the RB built on the S end of the LB

Cadbury Hill submitted by Creative Commons on 20th Jul 2012. This Ancient fort, directly under the flight path from Bristol International Airport, is on top of Cadbury Hill and must have been an easily defendable position.
Whilst wooded all around the top is kept clear by occasional grazing. Owned by Yatton Parish Council it provides open access and excellent walks for the public.

Log Text: Now that excavations have taken place what was originally thought to be a collection of rugge/rugg stones gathered over many hundreds/thousands years of field clearance has been declared to be a chambered tomb over which a 'more modern' (still a couple of hundred years old!) field dry stone wall was built - more detail to follow

Log Text: Approach gets harder the nearer you get - good views to north - the barrow itself is not easy to walk across - riding school very amenable
