Long Low, Wetton

Long Low is a Neolithic and Bronze Age site about 2 km southeast of Wetton in Staffordshire, consisting of two round cairns linked by a connecting bank -- a layout unique in England. The northern cairn is 23 metres in diameter and 2.4 metres high. Excavated between 1846 and 1851, the primary chamber yielded remains of at least 13 individuals along with three finely chipped flint arrowheads and animal bones. The connecting ridge contained scattered human bone fragments and charcoal, suggesting prolonged funerary use spanning the late Neolithic to Bronze Age.
