One of the largest, most impressive and most accessible Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain. Built in around 3650 BC, it was used for a short time as a burial chamber, nearly 50 people being buried here before the chambers were blocked. Part of the Avebury World Heritage Site. Open during daylight hours. Free parking is available in the lay-by signposted on the A4. There is an unguarded drop from the top of the barrow above the entrance.

There is a half mile walk uphill across farmland signposted from the lay-by to the barrow.
