<p>Winchcombe started life as a Roman hamlet, rising to prominence as an Anglo-Saxon walled town containing Winchcombe Abbey, where a Mercian king and his saintly son were buried. Although the town wall has long vanished, Winchcombe retains much of its medieval layout, with a mixture of timber-framed and Cotswold limestone buildings along its High Street, some dating back to the 15th century.</p>

<p>Belas Knap is a Neolithic, chambered long barrow situated on Cleeve Hill, near Cheltenham and Winchcombe. It is an outstanding example of a type of monument known as the Cotswold Severn Cairns, all of which have a similar trapezoid shape, and are found scattered along the River Severn. Construction is estimated to have taken place around 3000 BC, with following successive burials over a period of years<br />
<br />
There are four burial chambers, two on opposite sides near the middle, one at the South-East angle and one at the South end. These are formed of upright stone slabs, linked by dry-stone walling and originally had corbelled roofs.<br />
<br />
In the 1863-1865 excavations, the skeletal remains of five children, aged between 6 months and 8 years, the skull of a young adult male, horse and pig bones and fragments of pottery and serrated flint blade were found among the rubble blocking the 'false entrance'. Excavations in 1963 found the remains of 38 human skeletons, together with animal bones, flint implements and pottery of the end of the Neolithic period (New Stone Age), around 2000 BC.</p>

<p>I know I keep posting images of this place but I love it! All my previous images have been in colour because I felt it worked really well but it was time do a monochrome picture.</p>
