Windmill Tump

Windmill Tump, also known as Rodmarton Chambered Tomb, is a Neolithic burial site, a stone tumulus or barrow [1]. It is a mound covering the site of graves, in the form of a cairn, located in Gloucestershire [1]. It lies to the west of the village of Rodmarton, south of the road between Cherington and Tarlton [1]. The construction consists of approximately 5,000 tons of stone, under a mound [1]. The only portion of the stones that can still be seen is a fake entrance, which lies at the eastern side of the mound [1]. Digging took place in 1863, and again in 1939, after which the mound was restored [1]. The site contains two tombs, behind the false entrance, with passageways to the north and south [1]. The tombs contained the remains of ten adults and three children [1].
