Description: | Neolithic chambered long barrow known as the Stoney Littleton long barrow, the Bath Tumulus and the Wellow Tumulus. It is oriented north west-south east, with a recessed forecourt at the wider south east end. The barrow mound is composed of small stones and is surrounded by a restored drystone wall. Within the barrow are three pairs of side chambers and an end chamber. Human bones were recovered from within the chambers during excavations carried out by Skinner in 1816. The mound was restored by Joliffe in 1858. | Subjects: | Chambered Long Barrow Religious Ritual And Funerary Burial | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | National Monuments Record | Identifier: | http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
