Pipton Long Barrow is in Pipton, Breconshire, Prehistoric Wales Neolithic Burials.
Long Barrows of the Cotswolds. Pipton Long Barrow [Map]
Brecknockshire, 23 N.W. Parish of Pipton. 7a*.
Latitude 52° 01' 38". Longitude 3° 13' 26". Height above O.D., about 500 feet.
"About half-a-mile S.W. of Pipton Farm, on the hill which stands between the valleys of the Llynffi and the Wye. On the 6 inch map its outline is roughly indicated, but it is not described. A clump of trees conceals it; the trees are growing out of the mound, which is of the usual type found in this district - oval, about loo feet long, orientated N.N.E.-S.S.W., with two upright slabs at the east end, placed across the axis, much weathered. The greater portion of the barrow is completely ruined. With the exception of the slabs mentioned (one of which is presumably the eastern terminal) there are no traces of the chamber." Extract from a letter from Mr. C. E. Vulliamy (age 38) (the discoverer of this barrow) dated Glasbury House, July 7, 1922.
