Wayland's Smithy yesterday for #StandingStoneSunday. A marvellous, if much restored, #Neolithic long barrow in Oxfordshire, lying just off the Ridgeway long distance path. I didn't have a horse that needed shoeing, but legend says this is the place for a magical smithing job.

For #TombTuesday this is Windmill Tump Neolithic long barrow near Rodmarton in Gloucestershire.
It's been damaged by excavation, but has the remains of several chambers.
#Folklore tells of a tunnel running from the chambers (I don't know where to) and a fabled golden coffin.
Visited January 2010.
