Combe Gibbet Long Barrow View all content for Combe Gibbet

This long barrow is 200ft long and 75ft wide, flanked by ditches 15ft wide and still 3ft deep. The 6ft high mound was crowned with a wooden gibbet, and might still be, because the original has been replaced many times over the years for some morbid reason. (figures from Dyer's 'Discovering regional archaeology - the cotswolds and upper thames)
