They lie mainly on the chalklands of Wessex there the lightsoils were suitable for early farming. Excavations show that the monuments usually contained a wooden burial chamber: some of them have a chamber of stone. With each cluster of mounds is associated a larger, circular monument with concentric ditches termed a causewayed camp or enclosure. |
