Stoney Littleton 3,500 BC | Long Barrow

Stoney Littleton Long Barrow is one of the best accessible examples of a chamber grave in the country. It dates from approximately 3500 BC, measures 30 metres in length and has several burial chambers open to view. The approach to the tumulus – under a long narrow road, through a stream and through the fields – takes the visitor through a landscape that has probably been continuously cultivated since the Neolithic era. The long barrow marks an important stage in the evolution of prehistoric society in Britain.
