Western White Barrow
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)

Western White Barrow submitted by Andy B on 5th Mar 2011. Petre's Cross - South Dartmoor
The shaft of Petre's cross at Western Whitebarrow. The tip of Red Lake is in the background. The rocks are part of a crude shelter built into the ancient barrow by 19th century peat workers. This is a very exposed place and in bad weather would be a grim place to stay.

Wayland's Smithy
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2007
Wayland's Smithy submitted by dodomad on 14th Aug 2007. Wayland Smithy, Oxfordshire. A Neolithic chambered long barrow 2km from the Uffington White Horse. The remains of 14 people, three of whom were probably killed by arrowshots, were discovered in 1962-3, but precise dating is now able to narrow the date of their burials to within a decade or so, between 3590 and 3560BC. This opens up the possibility that these people could have died together as a result of a massacre, possibly in a scramble for land or a cattle raid. Image copyright English Herita...

Voldtofte Lusehøj submitted by Andy B on 11th Oct 2012. A piece of nettle cloth retrieved from Denmark's richest known Bronze Age burial mound Lusehøj may actually derive from Austria, new findings suggest.
2,800 years ago, one of Denmark's richest and most powerful men died. His body was burned. And the bereaved wrapped his bones in a cloth made from stinging nettle and put them in a stately bronze container, which also functioned as urn.
