Longbarrow
The West Kennet Longbarrow in today's fine weather. This burial chamber was built 3000 years B.C. (It pre-dates Stonehenge) and was used for 1000 years before it was deliberately sealed 2000 years B.C. with the HUGE "sarson" stones you see here in front of it's entrance... Amazing antiquity!

Silbury Hill
This is the the largest man made mound in Europe, and was made about 2500BC! That is as old as the Egyptian Pyramids. It is huge, and is not a burial, but a complete mystery!
