Image of North Down (Barrow / Cairn Cemetery) by Chance

The Long barrow at the heart of the cemetery – Scheduled Monument : SM21861

Excavation in 1964 by Dr Isobel Smith, revealed Neolithic sherds and animal bones, including 3 ox skulls, but no burials.
It also showed the barrow had been opened before, probably by Thurnam.
A round barrow overlies the NE end.

The forground shows the main Devizes to Beckhampton road.
