West Kennet Long Barrow
Aug 16, 2001, 19:13
Just paid my first visit. Fantastic site. Is the shape of the Longbarrow deliberately phallic ? Given it's position in the landscape and the fact that soil was buried here aswell as bones I wondered if it was a fertility symbol for the crops and a site of rebirth for the dead. Any thoughts ?
