What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records West Kennet long barrow, 800m south-east of Silbury Hill 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.
Neolithic long barrow, dating to approximately 3600–3500 BCE. It is significant as one of the largest and best-preserved examples of its type in southern England, and is part of a broader ceremonial landscape that includes Silbury Hill and Avebury.
