Neolithic tombs
Damerham is also the site of a prehistoric complex including two 6,000-year-old tombs representing some of the earliest monuments built in Britain[citation needed]. It was discovered by a team led by Dr. Helen Wickstead, a Kingston University archaeologist. These were previously undiscovered Neolithic tombs known as long barrows. [1][2]
