Windmill Tump Neolithic Long Barrow (aka Rodmarton Long Barrow)
Firstly I'd just like to apologise for the recent windy weather which seems to have been triggered by our incursion on to Windmill Tump Long Barrow in Gloucestershire, or at least that's how it felt to us at the time! We were just returning from a business trip in Taunton and decided to take a diversion to this wonderful Neolithic long barrow which I'd never visited before and knew very little about. It was constructed around 3800 BC and is a Cotswold Severn type barrow and like Belas Knapp has a false front and two side chambers which contained the remains of 13 people along with funerary items like flint arrow heads. Another interesting fact is that there is no evidence to suggest that a windmill ever stood on this site!
The Capstone's missing, the entrance is a false one and the stone chambers are on the sides!
