Norn's Tump

Long Barrow

Miscellaneous

Information on 'Magic.gov.uk' says that the mound is composed of small stones and is 2.5m high. An early illustration of the barrow in 1911 suggested it had two side chambers. Now there are two large depressions on the southern which could mark their positions.

The norns were the three fates in Norse myth. But one wonders whether this Norn isn't more local?
