Land Traces

This is possibly the remains of a chambered long barrow and is also referred to as the Upper Whitehorse Stone, the ‘Lower Whitehorse Stone’ having been broken up in the 1800s. It’s quite near The Countless Stones (Little Kit’s Coty), just the other side of the A229 and the High Speed Rail link between London and Paris. It’s a good size at 2.9m wide and 1.65m high and there are numerous smaller sarsens scattered around. However, excavations didn’t find any evidence of an earthen mound which would have accompanied such a structure, so it remains a bit of an anomaly.
