Join Andy and Craig on Wyrd Wessex as they venture into the formidable West Kennet Long Barrow, a Neolithic chambered tomb stretching 100 meters across the Wiltshire landscape. Built over five and a half millennia ago, this ancient resting place holds secrets of the dead, from ceremonial bone movements to evidence of forgotten feasts.

What stories do the disarticulated remains tell of violent deaths and ancestral veneration? Beyond its incredible prehistory, Andy and Craig delve into the rich folklore that clings to these ancient mounds. Discover chilling tales of spectral monks and their hounds, and hear a terrifying first-hand account of unseen hands in the darkness of the barrow. The journey continues into the wider world of burial mound mysteries, from the high-status Saxon princess buried on a bed near Bromham, complete with gold and sacrificed animals, to the curious legends of fairy hills and the perils of partaking in fae offerings (whisky included!).

The episode culminates in a spooky experiment as Andy and Craig turn off the lights inside the barrow, hoping to encounter something...

Stay Wyrd!
