Lad Barrow long barrow Lad Barrow long barrow is visible in this photograph as a light yellow line in the middle of this field. "The barrow is orientated east-west but has been much distorted by previous cultivation and now appears almost circular in plan. The mound is 40 m long and 34 m wide at the centre where it reaches a maximum height of 0.7 m. Although no longer visible on the surface, quarry ditches will flank either side of the mound and will survive as buried features 3 m wide. Early reports record two earthfast stones at the east end of the mound which may have formed part of a terminal chamber or blind entrance, but these are no longer visible." <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1018162" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1018162">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?lat=51.78818&lon=-1.77149" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?lat=51.78818&lon=-1.77149">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
