Winterbourne Stoke Barrows

The Winterbourne Stoke Barrows is the earliest burial mound in the group of the long barrow. It was built between 4000 and 3200 BC, thus making it earlier than Stonehenge. The barrow is well preserved, including the side ditches, which can be seem clearly. The barrow was used for several burials for thousand years, and archaeological excavations have shown that a primary burial at the north eastern end of the barrow is dated to the Bronze Age.
