I thought about that but people will confuse it with Kennet long barrow.
I went for a good walk around today and found a stone at the edge of Waden hill and lots of little sarcens around the top and bottom of the mound,
this place gets stranger by the day!
Stukeleys drawing shows a possible second barrow next to the big barrow on waden hill and there are signs that there once could have been another smaller barrow, however, the Romans knocked the end of Waden hill around and the ministry of works did more landscaping in the early 1900's when the A4 was metaled.

Yeah... see your point Pete, but the name West Kennet Long Barrow is now fixed in most people's mind as being just that, and as far as I know there's no place called Kennet Hill. Hope you find out what the locals used to call it. If old Charlie, who used to drink at the Wagon, is still about he might know.
