It might look like a hill from the outside, but inside is an amazing stone structure built to house the dead. Learn about West Kennet Long Barrow, Bush Barrow, Pentre Ifan, Lanyon Quoit and many more incredible sites of ancient burials, including the chariot queen, that can be found across Britain and give evience of the lives of prehistoric people.
