There are also three very amateur (though decent equipment for the day) videos of the Crickley digs from the 80's up on Vimeo... https://vimeo.com/53436254.
It's no time team, but you get the idea.

I've walked the region several times, and know Crickley and Leckhampton well, but it's been years since I've been, and I managed to totally miss the Crippets long barrow on all occations. Methinks I'm due a re-visit. Do you know if that crazy Nuclear Defence Bunker on Greenway Lane is open to the public or not, would be great to have a mooch around that. Also, looks like there's a parking nightmare up on Crickley Hill Country Park, with loads of peeps getting fined £100 a time for some dubious reasons (like being scanned by the ANPR at the entrance, then the ticket machine not working).
