A planning application has been submitted to Wiltshire Council for a modern burial mound as developer Tim Daw wants to construct a new ’long barrow’ mound near All Cannings where people will be able to leave cremated remains.
The ancient tradition of burying the remains of the dead within earth mounds dates to the early Neolithic period. Mr Daw said his proposals were ‘a modern interpretation’ of a long barrow.
Wiltshire is noted for its long barrows, including one at West Kennett, a few miles from where Mr Daw is planning his monument on land near Cannings Cross Farm.
