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.
