Danebury Long Barrows

Long Barrow

Fieldnotes

A group of 4 (?) Long Barrows close to Danebury, which they pre-date.

Using the above, the northerly couple can be seen clearly. There is said to be another at SU323387 (Tumulus on OS) to the E in the corner of the right hand field above the farm sheds. The LB/Bowl Barrow can be seen by the Y junction to the E of Danebury as a black clump of trees by the road.

It's interesting that the N group are orientated ESE and the others ENE.
