Bury Walls
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 17th May 2010
Bury Walls submitted by Andy B on 17th May 2010. The earthworks of Bury Walls hillfort. Almost all the earthworks are tree-covered, the area having been planted with forestry in the 1950s. This makes them rather hard to see in detail.
It's possible to walk most of the way around the top of the ramparts, although the track is narrow and overgrown in one or two places.

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...

Ascott under Wychwood
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2007
Ascott under Wychwood 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. Image copyright English Heritage, used w...
