408 List of the Long Barrovjs of Wiltshire. 



LONG BARROWS NOW DESTROYED. 



The following 14 Long Barrows, mentioned by Hoare and others, 

 or shown on the Station Maps in A.W., are known to have been 

 destroyed, or cannot now be found, and are not marked on the 

 Ordnance Survey Maps : — 



Amesbury. [10a.] Hoare's No. 17, near to, and west of, Stonehenge. 

 Hoare refers to this " as a long barrow in which we made no discovery." 

 It is practically ploughed out, and is not shown on the O.M. 54 SW ; 

 A. W. I. 128 (17). 



Amesbury, West. A chambered barrow. W.A.M. viii. 155. This is 

 perhaps the barrow shown by Hoare on the map of Amesbury North 

 Station, as between Amesbury Church and Vespasian's Camp, E. of 

 the Church. It is not shown on the large map of the Environs of 

 Stonehenge. 



Bishops Cannings. Included in Thurnam's list of nnchambered Long 

 Barrows, Arch, xlii., and he gives as reference to it Stukeley's 

 "Abury " 45 ? There are several much ploughed down barrows in the 

 locality,!but the particular one cannot now be identified. 

 " There are likewise about Abury some pyriform barrows, longish, but 

 broad at one end ; some composed of earth thrown into a tumulus. 

 Of this sort a very long one in the valley from Bekamton to Runway." 

 Abury p. 45. This, no doubt, is the reference Thurnam had in mind. 



Brixton Deverill. A barrow that seems to have been ploughed out is 

 thus referred to by Hoare : — " Near Rodmead Penning we opened a 

 small long barrow, in which were the remains of several skeletons that 

 had been disturbed before." A. W. I. 47. This would be on O.M. 



57 SE. 



Bromham. 3. On the Map of Calne and Swindon Stations Hoare shows 

 a Long Barrow on the down, S. of Heddington Church, and N. of 

 Oliver's Camp. In its approximate position there is on the O.M. a 

 barrow shown as round, but even this cannot now be found. The 

 ground is under cultivation and the barrow has no doubt been 

 ploughed out since the survey of 1884, but what the surveyors then 

 saw may have been a remnant of the Long Barrow seen by Hoare. 

 O.M. 34 NW. It is not shown by Smith. 



Donhead St. Mary. [4a.] Hoare shows an unopened Long Barrow 

 west of Wingreen, close to, and north of, the Ridgeway, and near the 

 western limit of the map of Hindon and Fovant Stations. No trace 

 of this could be found, nor is it shown on the O.M. 



Fittleton. 1 ? Wm. Cunnington, F.G.S., in 1851 partially opened a Long 

 Barrow which he describes as situated " east of Combe, about \ a mile 



1 In the Rev. E. H. Goddard's " List " this barrow is, by an oversight, 

 identified as Fittleton 5.
