The structure was commissioned by farmer and Stonehenge steward Timothy Daw,[1] and completed in 2014.[2]
The monument is inspired by the neolithic barrows built 5,500 years ago, and is a sequence of stone chambers under an earthen mound. It contains niches for the placement of cremation urns. All niches are now reserved.[3]
BBC Countryfile filmed at the barrow on 2016.[4]
