Millbarrow long barrow (Winterbourne Monkton)

Tumulus on Millbarrow

Millbarrow once stood on a low chalk spur 2 km north‑west of Avebury, just above the spring‑line where the Kennet valley opens onto the Marlborough Downs (NGR SU 0943 7221). From its east–west‑aligned crest the ground falls gently south to Windmill Hill and east  into the Kennet valley, giving the mound clear sight of the Avebury monument complex, and easy access to water and pasture.
