Long Barrow

|
The barrow is in a field called 'Giant's Ground' and is said to be the grave of Giant Gorm (who appears in various local tales - eg that of Druid Stoke). The field is said to be the site of a great battle (- perhaps that refers to the demise of the giant?).
The barrow was also formerly known as Charleborow, whatever the derivation of that may be - perhaps the name of another purported occupant?
