Belas Knap | The Mysterious Chambered Long Barrow in the Cotswolds | Megalithomania
Belas Knap is a Neolithic long barrow, a stunning example of a 'Severn-Cotswold' chambered tomb with a false entrance and side chambers. Excavated in 1863 and 1865, the remains of 31 people were found in the chambers, with some powerful Cro-Magnon type skulls. A small circular arrangement of stones existed at the site before the mound. The site dates from the Neolithic but the name 'Belas Knap' itself is medieval, meaning Beacon Mound.The barrow has been restored.

Belas Knap site of whats thought to have been a neolithic, chambered long barrow now impression of what some think it may have looked like in its more early days. Dated by bones found but the site could be far older and had many uses over the years,
is around 54 m long 18 m wide and 4.3 m in height you have keep in mind most what see now is not ancient but is on a ancient site. Is what is called a reconstruction but how can have any idea what it would looked like let me know? It would changed over 1000s of years if that is how old it is. These are my Options not fact.
Excavations in 1963 found the remains of 38 human skeletons, together with animal bones
Belas Knap neolithic, long barrow. There is said be a very small stone circle berried inside it.
My views again could this have been some kind of ancient bunker? It must has many uses over 1000s of years to me it makes no sense to build some thing like this for the dead i think it was reused for that i mean how much time would take to build these for dead folk, These things must had some other use in the first place.

A History of Winchcombe | Exploring the Cotswolds
Winchcombe is a Cotswold town in the local authority district of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Winchcombe’s story begins back in the Neolithic period when people settled in our hills leaving a stone-lined, burial chamber – the Belas Knap long barrow.
In Saxon times Winchcombe was a royal centre favoured by the kings of Mercia, then in the Middle Ages it became a pilgrimage centre and thriving wool town. The Victorian era saw its expansion with a Town Hall, churches, a grammar school and more housing.

Winchcombe is a Cotswold town in the local authority district of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Its population according to the 2011 census was 4,538. The Belas Knap Neolithic long barrow on a hilltop above Winchcombe, was constructed from about 3000 BC. Later, during Anglo-Saxon times, Winchcombe was a chief city of Mercia favoured by Coenwulf; the others being Lichfield and Tamworth. Subsequently, during the 11th century, the town was briefly the county town of Winchcombeshire. The Anglo-Saxon saint St. Kenelm is believed to be buried in the town.
During the Anarchy of the 12th century, a motte-and-bailey castle was erected in the early 1140s by Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford for the Empress Matilda, although the exact site of this is unknown;. It has been suggested however, that it was to the south of St Peter's Church. In the Restoration period, Winchcombe was noted for cattle rustling and other lawlessness, caused in part by poverty. In an attempt to earn a living, local people grew tobacco as a cash crop, despite this practice having been outlawed since the Commonwealth. Soldiers were sent in on at least one occasion to destroy the illegal crop.
In Winchcombe and the immediate vicinity can be found Sudeley Castle and the remains of Hailes Abbey, which was one of the main centres of pilgrimages in Britain due to a phial possessed by the monks said to contain the Blood of Christ. There is nothing left of the now-vanished Winchcombe Abbey. St Peter's Church in the centre of the town is noted for its grotesques. The Michelin star restaurant 5 North Street is in Winchcombe.
Winchcombe sits on six long-distance footpaths: The Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wychavon Way, St Kenelm's Trail, St Kenelm's Way, the Warden's Way and the Windrush Way. Winchcombe became a member of the Walkers are Welcome network of towns in July 2009 and now holds a walking festival every May.
Winchcombe was once served by a railway line, a relative latecomer in British railway history, which was opened in 1906 by the Great Western Railway. The line ran from Stratford-upon-Avon to Cheltenham and was part of a main line from Birmingham to the South West and South Wales. Winchcombe railway station and most others on the section closed in March 1960. Through passenger services continued on this line until March 1968, and goods until 1976 when a derailment at Winchcombe damaged the line. It was decided not to bring the section back into use and by the early 1980s it had been dismantled. The stretch between Toddington and Cheltenham Racecourse, including Winchcombe, has since been reconstructed and reopened as a heritage railway called the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. A new railway station has been erected at Winchcombe, on its original site, the building being the former station at Monmouth ((Troy) railway station). Nearby is the 693 yard (634 m) Greet Tunnel, the second longest on any preserved line in Britain.

Cotswold d2 pt7: Neolithic Burial at Belas Knap
I reach Belas Knap, a 2500-year-old Neolithic burial chamber. Unfortunately, I have to confess that I was having a hard day on the trail, and by the time I filmed this I was already a bit cranky. If you can overlook the crabbiness of the commentary, it's a very interesting location.
