Lovely enclosed area with a long barrow, gorgeous views and open fields. Good info boards, parking a short walk in a gravel lay-by.

Also called Windmill Tump, a neolithic burial ground looked after by English Heritage. Off road parking is by the road sign to the landmark, it is surrounded by partial drystone walling and a fence. Turn right into the field and follow the edge of the field and you will see a well marked path to the barrow. There are information signs that explain more when you are there.

Very quiet with good explanation boards.

A piece of Cotswold prehistory. Well worth a picnic whilst you ponder the prominent position of a 6000 year old burial place on the landscape. It's fenced so good for children.
The local Corinium Museum has significant displays relating to the prehistory of the area. A visit there would complete your Cotswold Prehistory day.

Windmill Tump or Rodmarton Long Barrow
Neolithic tomb with a dummy entrance.
Constructed between 4000-3500 BC.
Two horns and a forecourt.
Grave goods including Roman pottery, leaf shaped arrowheads and coins have been excavated. The remains of 35-40 skeletons were found. And this is where this site gets seriously interesting, a male adult skull with a head wound was found along with other indications that these people met with a violent death. There is speculation as to whether these findings indicate death in battle or death in ceremony.
The bones of a child also found.

Remote, mystical and beautiful. Have the place to yourself. Take a book or a picnic. Have sunny days.

Untouched and full of history.
Close your eyes to relive the history beneath your feet.

Only a short walk from the road so it is worth a look after you have spotted the sign. Somewhat damaged by C19th antiquarians.
