Giant's Grave, Milton Lilbourne
This is one of the many Wiltshire long barrows excavated in the nineteenth century by Dr. John Thurnam.
Built of chalk, it is 90 m long, 20 m wide and 2 m high.
At its eastern end it covered a pile of bones of three or four people, one of whom had died from a blow which had cleft his skull.
