What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Wayland's Smithy chambered long barrow, including an earlier barrow and Iron Age and Roman boundary ditches as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Chambered long barrow dating to the Neolithic period, with later Iron Age and Roman boundary ditches. It is significant as a well-preserved example of early prehistoric funerary architecture in southern England.
