Image of Dunseal (Round Barrow(s)) by postman

George Nash in his Architecture of death (keep it light George) calls it a long barrow, then says it could have been round at one point, then says it’s probably a long barrow.

Dunseal longbarrow is intact and unexcavated, it stands 175m above sea level,and measures about 27m x 14m and 2m tall.
The barrow marks the eastern extent of neolithic activity and the south eastern extent of the Black mountains group .
Date of construction is unknown but its position on a narrow ridge with panoramic views is suggestive of late neolithic/early bronze age.
