West Tump
Date Added: 17th Jun 2023
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Jan 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
West Tump submitted by drolaf on 27th Jan 2017. West Tump (Cranham) long barrow is about 60 metres long, and faces east. It lies in quiet mixed and beech woodland, so is in good condition and is not hard to find, up the hill but not on the crest. There is also what might be a ww2 bunker nearby.
Trees on the barrow have been felled and brushwood marks the barrow borders, and acts as a barrier to off road bicycles. The barrow's future seems secure.

Log Text: A great visit-the fire had been prepared 2 hours before, so the hot air and smoke was filtering well through the roof (bracken and thatch). Sat inside it was only smoky in the upper space. Definitely not as smoky as sitting round a fire in the open. A lovely space that seems so much bigger than its 6m diameter would suggest. We got about 20 people inside on the benches.

Giant's Graves (Isle of Arran) submitted by tsujigiri on 28th Jul 2005. First shot from behind the site. The day was a bit rainy off and on and the overcast sky made the lighting a bit iffy for my digital camera. The climb up was very invigorating and well worth the effort.
Unfortuneately, I neglected to get a shot from the front of the main site. Maybe next time I'm up there.
