A contemporary long barrow for cremated remains

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Tim Daw, a farmer and the owner and mastermind behind a newly built long barrow at All Cannings in Wiltshire (UK) for housing cremated remains, located in one of his fields.

It’s a magical place and utterly unique and therefore, no wonder that in less than a year since the Long Barrow at All Cannings was officially opened for custom, 75% of the niches available to purchase for cremated remains have already been sold!

I was greatly impressed by the craftsmanship and vision involved in the building of this replica Neolithic long barrow, built from local sarsen stones and in such a way that on the Winter Solstice the sun rises and shines it’s rays of light into the long barrow.
