First round barrow built in 3,500 years opens in Cambridgeshire

Visitors queued to see inside the round barrow when it was opened on 24 October.

A company called Sacred Stones opened the first round barrow built since neolithic times on 24 October. Its construction used 500 tonnes of local Churchfield limestone buried beneath 1,000 tonnes of earth seeded with meadow grass.
