Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during remedial works at West Kennet Long Barrow Monument comprising the replacement of three concrete-framed top lights with new units, re-profiling of the barrow at the eastern end to replace material lost due to erosion, and grading of the internal floor to incorporate a membrane to improve drainage. Chalk bedrock was found in one small area within the central passageway of the chamber below the modern trampled gravel surface during grading of the internal floor to incorporate a membrane to improve drainage. No additional archaeological features of note were observed during remedial works, and no artefactual material was recovered.
