It's quite easy to envisage a long barrow's appearance as a woolly thatched longhouse. And very literal too.


I was thinking along the lines of the possibility of a roofed long barrow being the original home of a leader/chieftain and his family and as they died off were laid to rest in the side chambers then when 'full' the whole thing becoming just a stone capped chambered tomb as we know it today.
