here's some more sites not mentioned by cope or johan... with the OS numbers (LB means long barrow, H henge and RB round barrow)
I must say they are all in West Hants (cos I work in 'megalithic areas' for
ease of travel and visit, not in counties in my own gazetteer):

when not indicated, I am sure you will recognise the ending -bury or -borough, until today a sign of hillfort or castled town
if you need more details about any of the sites or even more info then say it and let me know if you visit any of those, many are unknown to me - mainly, as you can see, that part of the south is, too, teeming with round barrows and hillforts more than anywhere else - impressive stone constructions are not so common, but who cares when it is the land and her features that says it all? a megalith is only a needle on one of the hotspots of a beatiful naked body
