Hello gauche newcomer again. Got to Wayland' s Smithy and was reduced to tears.What's happening to me!? I was stunned by it & didn't want to leave. Were the barrows constructed to stand out in the landscape as the actual chambers for the bones seem relatively small? We're they for "high status" people? Have any tests revealed wether the people laid there were family members?
It's an amazing place isn't it - I usually walk up to Uffington Castle/White Horse after my visits - which will always be one of my favourite places. I don't have my own transport but often manage to persuade friends with a car its a good place to go. The interpretive panel by Wayland's is quite helpful.http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/68/waylands_smithy.html
