1975 Stonehenge, Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow
The boys have an outing to three ancient prehistoric British monuments: Stonehenge, Avebury Stone Circle, and West Kennet Long Barrow, in the Wiltshire countryside, summer 1975. Back in those days, while it was still managed by English Heritage (then as now,) Stonehenge was completely open . The keeper, with his cap, even put children on the stones, and would take a picture of all of you sitting on one of the stones if you asked him nicely!

ANCIENT WILTSHIRE PART 2 - WEST KENNET LONG BARROW [4K]
The West Kennet Long Barrow, also known as South Long Barrow, is a chambered long barrow located near the village of Avebury in the south-western English county of Wiltshire. Probably constructed in the thirty-seventh century BCE, during Britain's Early Neolithic period, today it survives in a partially reconstructed state.
Archaeologists have established that the monument was built by pastoralist communities shortly after the introduction of agriculture to Britain from continental Europe. Although representing part of an architectural tradition of long barrow building that was widespread across Neolithic Europe, the West Kennet Long Barrow belongs to a localised regional variant of barrows in Western Britain, now known as the Cotswold-Severn Group. Of these, it is part of a cluster of around thirty centring around Avebury in the uplands of northern Wiltshire.
Built out of earth, local sarsen megaliths, and oolitic limestone imported from the Cotswolds, the long barrow consisted of a sub-rectangular earthen tumulus enclosed by kerb-stones. Its precise date of construction is not known. Human bones were placed within the chamber, probably between 3670 and 3635 BCE, representing a mixture of men, women, children and adults. There is then an apparent hiatus in the use of the site as a place of burial, probably lasting over a century. Between 3620 and 3240 BCE it likely began to be re-used as a burial space, receiving both human and animal remains over a period of several centuries. Various flint tools and ceramic sherds were also placed within it during this time. In the Late Neolithic, the entrance to the long barrow was blocked up with the addition of large sarsen boulders. During the Later Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, the landscape around West Kennet Long Barrow was subject to the widespread construction of ceremonial monuments, among them the Avebury henge and stone circles, the West Kennet Avenue, The Sanctuary, and Silbury Hill.
During the Romano-British period, a small coin hoard was buried in the side of the long barrow. The ruin attracted the interest of antiquarians in the 17th century, while archaeological excavation took place in 1859 and again in 1955–56, after which it underwent reconstruction. Now under the guardianship of English Heritage, it is classified as part of the Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites UNESCO World Heritage Site and is open without charge to visitors all year around [WIKIPEDIA]

The West Kennet Long Barrow Explored
Marq English and I are in Wiltshire on our way to Avebury exploring some of the prehistoric sites. Today we are visiting the West Kennet Long Barrow. It is a Neolithic tomb or barrow, situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, one-and-a-half miles south of Avebury. The site was recorded by John Aubrey in the 17th century and by William Stukeley in the 18th century.
The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow commenced about 3600 BC, which is some 400 years before the first stage of Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BC.

Nympsfield Long Barrow
Find out more about Nympsfield Long Barrow:
Perched on top of the Cotswold escarpment with spectacular views over the Severn Valley, Nympsfield Long Barrow was a burial place for early farming communities. Prehistorian Timothy Darvill invites us imagine how the long barrow would have looked when it was in use over 5,500 years ago, and speculates on the symbolic meaning of the shape of the burial mound.
