| Lambourn Seven Barrows | Barrow Cemetery | England | Berkshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | On the way to Weyland's Smithy, stopped by this group to see our first barrow in Britain. Peaceful setting, and a nice taste of what was to come in Wiltshire. Would have like more time to be able to explore the different barrow types here. | 20 | 1 |
| Wayland's Smithy | Long Barrow | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 4 | 3 | A must see on our day out from London to Avebury. When we got there there was a grade school outing having lunch on the barrow. It was fun to see the kids playing around on what to them must have just been another field trip, but for us was a (possibly) once in a lifetime visit. | 20 | 2 |
| Uffington Castle | Hillfort | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Visited during our brief tour of Wiltshire. Would have liked to walk around the circumference. Next time... | 20 | 3 |
| Uffington Castle Neolithic long barrow | Long Barrow | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 1 | 3 | 3 | The barrow is only visible if you know exactly where to look and what you are looking for. | 20 | 4 |
| Uffington White Horse | Hill Figure or Geoglyph | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 5 | 3 | We just caught oblique glimpses of it from the road below. Once at the horse itself, it is surprising just how small the cuts in the turf are. I was expecting them to be measured in yards, but instead you could measure them in feet, or inches in some places. I'm sure there are better places to vi... Read More |

| Avebury | Stone Circle | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Alas, due to rental car problems we had all of 45 minutes to explore the whole Avebury area. I only got to see 1/4 of the circle and we had to leave. | 20 | 6 |
| Silbury Hill | Artificial Mound | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Somewhat disappointed that there is no pedestrian access, but it is understandable. | 20 | 7 |
| West Kennett Long Barrow | Long Barrow | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 5 | 2 | As spectacular as expected. Great to visit a chambered tomb that still has its covering of earth. | 20 | 8 |
| West Kennet Avenue | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Unfortunately we were able to spend all of a minute or two here before having to head back to London. | 20 | 9 |
