Description
Wayland was a black smith with a whole long story I can't be bothered to type so if you're interested read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_…This exposed long barrow is supposed to have been where his Smithy was. Apparently if you leave your house and a coin in the morning the coin will be gone and the horse will be shod.

It would be a very good model or a good spot to film a movie scene or two.

Yeh and there are so many long barrows around too.
Have you ever heard of Silbury hill?

I've heard of long barrows in general, but don't really know particulars. I searched it up, though (don't like reading Wiki articles, they phrase it in the most complicated way possible) and apparently its purpose is unknown?

Well we have a pretty good idea since they were full of bones all carefully laid out.
When they were new they would have been chalk, shining whit monuments usually place on a hill visible from a set area.

Is a real cool place to visit have to walk for like an hour to get there so only proper pagans/history nuts can be bothered to go. (I'm a lil of both but not quite ether myself)

No problem. It is pretty amazing. Although there was a police man there hanging out to stop pagans having mini festivals there. The moment he said it I was like, that is a great idea we should totally organise one of them ^_^

Oh yes, that is what I would think if that is what I was told.
"Time to organize!"
