Do we have an accepted name for this? Is it the Longstones Long Barrow or the Beckhampton Long Barrow?

I see it is called the Long Stones barrow on 'magic' - but there was a longbarrow closer to the long stones than it is. ie South Street longbarrow. So that is a teeny bit confusing, surely.

Well, not bad so far -

1) Beckhampton Long Barrow
2) Beckhampton Longstones Longbarrow
3) Longstones Barrow
4) Longstones Long Barrow
5) Long Stones Long Barrow

Five suggestions, but did we reach an agreement/consensus? Longstones Long Barrow gets my vote, and unless someone's gonna disagree I'm sticking with that - cant wait to see it next weekend!
