The West Kennet Long Barrow is a Neolithic tomb or barrow,
situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, one-and-a-half miles
south of Avebury in Wiltshire, England. The site was recorded by John Aubrey in
the 17th century and by William Stukeley in the 18th century.
The latest excavations also revealed that the side chambers
occur inside an exact isosceles triangle, whose height is twice the length of
its base. Artefacts associated with the burials include Neolithic Grooved ware
similar to that found at nearby Windmill Hill. Sources
