View of Belas Knap, a Neolithic, chambered long barrow atop Cleeve Hill near Winchcombe, England. The barrow was constructed around 3000BC, with successive burials over a period of years w/ the burial chambers deliberately blocked. Excavations in 1863-1865 revealed skeletal remains of five children b/w 6 months to eight years of age. Other artifacts were recovered & an excavation in 1963 revealed the remains of 38 human skeletons. This is the north view showing the false portal entrance.
