Dist:0.7km<br/>One of two known burial sites on the eastern slopes of Rhossili Down, collectively called Sweyne's Howes (or Sweyne's Houses). This one is described by Coflein http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/93013/details/SWEYNE'S HOWES, N. CAIRN/ as a chambered tomb within an oval cairn, with an inner site of more massive stones. I left the small black dog there for scale.
