Parc Cwm long cairn
Parc Cwm long cairn (Welsh: carn hir Parc Cwm), also known as Parc le Breos burial chamber (siambr gladdu Parc le Breos), is a partly restored Neolithic chambered tomb, identified in 1937 as a Severn-Cotswold type of chambered long barrow. The cromlech, a megalithic burial chamber, was built around 5850 years before present (BP), during the early Neolithic. It is about seven 1⁄2 miles (12 km) west south–west of Swansea, Wales, in what is now known as Coed y Parc Cwm at Parc le Breos, on the Gower Peninsula.
A trapezoidal cairn of rubble – the upper part of the cromlech and its earth covering now removed – about 72 feet (22 m) long by 43 feet (13 m) (at its widest), is revetted by a low dry-stone wall. A bell-shaped, south-facing forecourt, formed by the wall, leads to a central passageway lined with limestone slabs set on end. Human remains had been placed in the two pairs of stone chambers that lead from the passageway. Corpses may have been placed in nearby caves until they decomposed, when the bones were moved to the tomb.

Long barrow
A long barrow is a prehistoric monument usually dating to the early Neolithic period, traditionally interpreted as a collective tomb. They are rectangular or trapezoidal tumuli or earth mounds. Long barrows are also typical of several Celtic, Slavic, and Baltic cultures of Northern Europe of the 1st millennium AD.
Long barrows in the United Kingdom
Around 300 are known from Scotland and England with a concentration of the monuments in southern and eastern England. Elsewhere in the British Isles Neolithic people buried their dead in Megalithic tombs.
Archaeological excavation indicated that the construction of the earth barrow was the last phase in a complex sequence connected with the ritual inhumation of the dead that took place in British society between around 4000 and 2400 BC. Many long barrow sites started off as small rectangular enclosures of earth banks topped by a timber palisade, constituting a mortuary enclosure. Within this was built a wooden room-sized mortuary chamber with large supporting posts. Sometimes a grand timber entrance was also built along with an avenue of wooden posts. Human remains were placed in this chamber, sometimes all at once and sometimes over a period of time. Often the bones found in them are disarticulated, implying that the bodies were subjected to exposure and excarnation prior to burial or that they were buried elsewhere and exhumed for the purposes of placing in the barrow. Rarely are whole skeletons found and it seems that only long bones and skulls survived until the final interment.

The West Kennet Long Barrow Explored
Marq English and I are in Wiltshire on our way to Avebury exploring some of the prehistoric sites. Today we are visiting the West Kennet Long Barrow. It is a Neolithic tomb or barrow, situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, one-and-a-half miles south of Avebury. The site was recorded by John Aubrey in the 17th century and by William Stukeley in the 18th century. The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow commenced about 3600 BC, which is some 400 years before the first stage of Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BC.

THE LONG BARROWS: 1,000 Years Before Stonehenge | A Prehistory Guys Film
If it were not for the long barrows, we would have very little idea what was going on in early Neolithic Britain, not long after the first farmers arrived. Although, for us, they occupy the same landscape, up to a thousand years separates the construction of these great tombs from the later megalithic edifices such as the stone circles and indeed Stonehenge itself. The long barrows are at once a mystery and also the biggest insight we have into the lives and culture of the early settlers and their descendants not long after the farming revolution took hold in Britain & Ireland.

Long barrows are the earliest great monuments of the British Isles. They could be over 100m/330ft long and there are hundreds of them, dating from 3800 BC.
But what were they? But who built them? Why did they put so much effort into making them?
And what can the latest studies on ancient DNA tell us, about the family relationships of the people buried inside them and the societies that they lived in?
This is the story of the mysterious Long Barrows of Neolithic Britain.

Long barrows are the earliest great monuments of the British Isles. They could be over 100m/330ft long and there are hundreds of them, dating from 3800 BC.
But what were they? But who built them? Why did they put so much effort into making them?
And what can the latest studies on ancient DNA tell us, about the family relationships of the people buried inside them and the societies that they lived in?
This is the story of the mysterious Long Barrows of Neolithic Britain.

Perched on top of the Cotswold escarpment with spectacular views over the Severn Valley, Nympsfield Long Barrow was a burial place for early farming communities. Prehistorian Timothy Darvill invites us imagine how the long barrow would have looked when it was in use over 5,500 years ago, and speculates on the symbolic meaning of the shape of the burial mound.

Marq English and I are in Wiltshire on our way to Avebury exploring some of the prehistoric sites. Today we are visiting the West Kennet Long Barrow. It is a Neolithic tomb or barrow, situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, one-and-a-half miles south of Avebury. The site was recorded by John Aubrey in the 17th century and by William Stukeley in the 18th century.
The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow commenced about 3600 BC, which is some 400 years before the first stage of Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BC.

If it were not for the long barrows, we would have very little idea what was going on in early Neolithic Britain, not long after the first farmers arrived.
Although, for us, they occupy the same landscape, up to a thousand years separates the construction of these great tombs from the later megalithic edifices such as the stone circles and indeed Stonehenge itself.
The long barrows are at once a mystery and also the biggest insight we have into the lives and culture of the early settlers and their descendants not long after the farming revolution took hold in Britain & Ireland.
Rupert Soskin presents a portrait of the Severn/Cotswold Long Barrows, telling the story of how they have been gradually giving up their secrets to archaeology over the past two hundred years.

Set within the rolling Cotswolds countryside, Windmill Tump, or Rodmarton Long Barrow as it is sometimes known, was built over 5,500 years ago by early farming communities. It was used as a burial place for their dead, and could also have served to mark their territory. Expert Timothy Darvill tells us how the long barrow would have been accessed and where ceremonies and burial rites might have taken place.

21:15 The Story of the Long Barrows
Parc Cwm long cairn
Parc Cwm long cairn (Welsh: carn hir Parc Cwm), also known as Parc le Breos burial chamber (siambr gladdu Parc le Breos), is a partly restored Neolithic chambered tomb, identified in 1937 as a Severn-Cotswold type of chambered long barrow. The cromlech, a megalithic burial chamber, was built around 5850 years before present (BP), during the early Neolithic. It is about seven 1⁄2 miles (12 km) west south–west of Swansea, Wales, in what is now known as Coed y Parc Cwm at Parc le Breos, on the Gower Peninsula.
A trapezoidal cairn of rubble – the upper part of the cromlech and its earth covering now removed – about 72 feet (22 m) long by 43 feet (13 m) (at its widest), is revetted by a low dry-stone wall. A bell-shaped, south-facing forecourt, formed by the wall, leads to a central passageway lined with limestone slabs set on end. Human remains had been placed in the two pairs of stone chambers that lead from the passageway. Corpses may have been placed in nearby caves until they decomposed, when the bones were moved to the tomb.
