Fussell's Lodge
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2007
Fussell's Lodge submitted by Andy B on 14th Aug 2007. Reconstruction drawings showing the different ways Neolithic communities closed their burial sites: at Ascott-under-Wychwood, the chamber was walled up; at Hazleton offerings were made; at Fussell's Lodge the wooden mortuary chamber was burnt and a large barrow constructed; and in West Kennet, people simply stopped placing corpses in the tomb. These differences indicate that contemporary Neolithic societies are much more varied than we previously thought.
