Or, is the discussion about a different barrow completely? Would be grateful to have recent discussion condensed because I've think I've lost the plot. best wishes June June , to the south east of the Long Barrow is a small mound that was believed by Grinsell to have been a round barrow but EH field surveyors in 2005 and a later assessment show that it overlies a field boundary , medieval ridge and furrow do not deviate around and it could even be a feature of the estate from the 17th C or 18th Centuries . Thanks Tiompan, that's clear and concise - am glad the long barrow is still a long barrow :-) Crawford described it as the "finest long barrow he had ever seen " Really? For a man who saw an awful lot of long barrows, that seems a strange one to pick (I haven't been, so I may be doing it an injustice). I would have thought Waylands Smithy, EKLB, WKLB, Rodmarton, even The Crippets would be better bets - he probably wouldn't have counted Belas Knap due to restoration work.
