Stoney Littleton Long Barrow
Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, Neolithic burial chamber in Wellow, England.
The stone structure extends 30 meters in length with a 13-meter gallery containing three pairs of side chambers and an end chamber for burials.
Built around 3500 BC, this Cotswold-Severn tomb was first excavated in 1760 by a farmer searching for road construction materials.
The burial site represents early British farming communities who constructed chambered tombs for ritual inhumation of their deceased members.
Access to the barrow requires walking from a designated car park, crossing five stiles and following an uphill path with moderate difficulty.
The entrance stone features an embedded ammonite fossil from 200 million years ago, which local traditions called snakestones.
