Gatcombe Lodge
Date Added: 30th May 2011
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 27th May 2011. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 3
Gatcombe Lodge submitted by thecaptain on 24th Mar 2009. Having read several tales of people being stopped and questioned by rapidly arriving police here, I didn’t spend long, and just took a photo from the entry to the estate.
It looks to be the regular shapeless lumpy bumpy mess covered in trees.

Leighterton Long Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 15th Nov 2004. View from the northwest, showing the massive size of this barrow. It looks to be one worthy of further exploration if possible.

Log Text: Would love to get nearer - binoculars/long lens on camera just make temptation greater - no public footpath to site - nearest public highway 150yds +

Log Text: This came as an awful shock - I have an idea that there was muddled thinking by local government - and we have the gall to criticise 19th century tomb hunters

View looking west at the barrows east side.
The ploughed field surrounding the barrow is eating away at it. The most recent ploughing must have taken a couple of feet from each end, with all the stones which formerly made up the mound being scattered across the field.

Log Text: This Stone is something of an enigma - there is no good reason for it being where it is - it is however worth that 'little bit extra' to get close to - the markings are quite extraordinary - was there any human influence on its placement?
