Belas Knap Long Barrow Investigation

5 months ago

Part.1 of our Paranormal Cotswolds series.
This video we investigate Belas Knap Long Barrow, an Iron Age burial mound.
Belas Knap is a Neolithic long barrow located near Winchcombe in Gloucestershire, England. Constructed around 3000 BC, it stands as a remarkable example of the Cotswold-Severn group of chambered tombs. The site features a trapezoidal mound approximately 54 meters long, 18 meters wide, and nearly 4.5 meters high.

Key Features

False Entrance:
One of Belas Knap's most intriguing aspects is its elaborate false entrance at the northern end. This intricately constructed façade, with dry-stone walling and large limestone jambs and lintels, may have served to deter tomb robbers or functioned as a symbolic 'spirit door' for ritualistic purposes.

Burial Chambers:
The actual burial chambers are located along the eastern and western sides of the barrow and at its southern end. These chambers, formed by upright stone slabs and originally topped with corbelled roofs, were used for successive burials over time.

Archaeological Discoveries

Excavations conducted between 1863 and 1865, and later from 1928 to 1931, uncovered the remains of at least 38 individuals, including adults and children. Artefacts such as flint tools, pottery fragments, and animal bones were also found, indicating the site's prolonged use for ceremonial and burial purposes.

Several accounts over the years mention the laughter or weeping of children near the chambered tombs—especially in the early morning or twilight. This may connect to the remains of children found during excavations in the 19th and 20th centuries. Hikers have reported hearing giggles where no one is present or fleeting glimpses of pale figures darting among the stones.

Restoration and Preservation

Belas Knap has undergone several restorations to preserve its structure. Notably, in the 1920s and 1930s, efforts were made to stabilize the dry-stone walling and restore the mound's original contour. Today, the site is managed by English heritage and is accessible to the public.
