This is a Bronze Age linear barrow cemetery just North East of Aldbourne, Wiltshire. A fifth barrow further down from the ridge (the 4th photo) and quite close to The Giant's Grave on the opposing ridge, appears to be a large disc barrow, but could just have been partially ploughed out over the centuries. It was excavated by William Greenwell in 1878 and it may have been this barrow that had the most interesting grave goods contained within it.
