Hetty Peglers Tump

Uley, Gloucestershire.

This 180foot Neolithic Barrow is just a short walk from the B4066. The monument entrance is  surrounded by a stone wall leading to a long  central chamber which can be entered through the doorway, although uncomfortable on hands and knees, and accompanied with a torch, it is well worth the trouble. The monument was built over 4000 years ago and is in the stewardship of English Heritage.    
There is no admission charge.
