So that means they were flattened the long barrows? shame there was no 'before' photos of them, no large stones then, just earthen barrows.......

so there wasn't much to flatten!
As Tiompan refers to, there wasn't even any mention of any long barrows at all on Pastscape, just the Neo/BA settlement site and the fort to the south. Certainly a long period of occupation as you say.
