Abstract:		 This volume reports on the excavation of two chambered long cairns in the Severn-Cotswold tradition: Gwernvale, where a substantial part of the cairn survived below a modern road, and Penywyrlod which was only identified in 1972 and proved to be the largest known cairn in the Black Mountains. Accompanied by numerous photographs and reconstruction drawings, the volume discusses the structure of the cairns, associated features, their multi-period use, what they reveal about burial rituals, and the human and animal remains found within. This is an important study of the extension of the Severn Cotswold Tombs into Brecknockshire.
