Uley Long Barrow

The Uley Long Barrow, also known locally as Hetty Pegler's Tump, is a Neolithic burial mound near the village of Uley, Gloucestershire [1]. Although typically described as a long barrow, the mound is actually a transepted gallery grave [1]. It was probably built before 3000 BC [1]. It measures around 37 metres long, 34 metres wide, and has a maximum height of 3 metres [1]. It contains a stone-built central passage with two chambers on each side and another at the end [1]. The earthen mound is surrounded by a dry-stone revetting wall [1]. The barrow was archaeologically excavated in 1821, revealing the remains of fifteen skeletons and a later, intrusive Roman age burial above the northeast chamber [1].
