Summary : Sarsen stones and a slight mound, observed by OGS Crawford, possibly represent traces of a "lost" long barrow in Beckhampton Plantation.
More information : (SU 08626706) Sarsens and signs of slight mound observed here by OGS Crawford. (1) Barker examines Stukeley's description of a long barrow south of Silbury Hill to suggest the existence of a subsequently 'lost' barrow at Beckhampton Plantation. Using Stukeley's account of the barrow's location he suggests a siting in the area of SU 09006715 before drawing attention to Crawford's obervation of sarsens and slight mound nearby. (2)
