Oldwalls Farm Long Barrow View all content for Oldwalls Farm

This barrow is on the edge of a slight spur and is 56m long, orientated ESE-WNW. It's been rounded down by ploughing but a 1947 aerial photograph shows it trapezoid shape, with the wider end at the east. In the 1940s, rumour was that the barrow had been opened 70 years previously in search of a golden coffin. (info from Magic / 'Gloucestershire barrows' PBGArchSoc 1960)
