Battlegore Burial Chamber

Battlegore Burial Chamber is a Bronze Age burial chamber located in Williton, Somerset [1]. It is composed of three round barrows and possibly a long, chambered barrow [1]. The site was excavated in 1931 by George Gray [1]. The most northernly of the barrows is around 18 metres in diameter and 1 metre high [1]. Neolithic pottery and flint artifacts have been found at this site [1]. Archaeologists also found bronze items, including a "knife dagger", a broken dagger, a rapier, a spearhead, and a winged axe [1]. A field of Mesolithic flint artifacts has been found to the north of Battlegore [1].
