Probable remains of a chambered longbarrow, marked as "Burial chamber (remains of)" on the OL15 map. Ask at Combe Farm for permission to visit.

One of the two sites that the Bronze age Deverel-Rimbury culture is named from. Rimbury being a now gone barrow near Weymouth. The barrow was excavated in 1824 and numerous creation urns were found. Visitors should expect to find sarcen stones on top of the mound which covered the inhumations.

A bona fide mostly ploughed over henge, on the edge of Norwich.
My brain hurts.
Discovered by aerial photography in 1929, it originally had 2 concentric ditches & 8 wooden posts in a horseshoe. Circa 2500BC.

Supposed to be a Bronze age barrow & noted by Stukeley but left off a 17th century map. Also when excavated in the 19th century the top foot or so was found to be modern.

Dubiously claimed as ancient (8000 years old and used by the druids... apparently), this is a 20 mile long complex of 12th - 17th century mineworkings & caves, located under chislehurst.
Watch out for the opening hours:
During summer holidays, open 7 days a week. Other times open Wednesday to Sunday, ie closed Monday and Tuesday (grrr a wasted morning grrr). Tours every hour 10 till 4.

AKA the well at Clerkenwell.
14-16 Farringdon Lane EC1.
The well is now in a locked exhibition space and can be seen through some large plate glass windows. The key can be obtained for unlocking the space iirc from the local library.

The most probable of 3 possible longbarrows in the park, in addition to Henry VIII Mound.
It is listed in the GLS&MR as a possible longbarrow and the Richmond Park archeological survey (1992) is confident about its authenticity. However other experts have dismissed the possibility of there being any longbarrows in Richmond Park (or any other London park it seems).

Situated on the west edge of Richmond Park, probably a bronze age mound.
