Abstract:
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in April 2010 at Uley Long Barrow (Hetty Peglar's Tump), Gloucestershire. One trench was excavated. Fragmentary limestone and clay deposits encountered within the southern part of the trench appear to represent surviving Neolithic mound construction material. Structural remains associated with the south-western and western burial chambers (including orthostats and capstones) were partially revealed at the limit of excavation. In addition, an east/west-aligned cut, excavated at least to the level of these burial chambers, was noted within the northern part of the trench, correlating with the position and orientation of an extant depression in the tail of the mound. Post-medieval artefacts recovered from its loose stone and soil backfill deposits, together with residual prehistoric and Roman pottery, worked flint and human bone, suggests that this represents one of several documented 19th-century investigations of the long barrow. At least one of the chamber capstones had been removed during this activity, the western chamber capstone lying directly upon post-medieval backfill. The Neolithic and later deposits exposed within the trench were sealed by modern topsoil, into which foundation pads for an Ordnance Survey trig point had been set.
