secrets of the sisters long barrow
Just outside Cirencester lies one of the most significant prehistoric discoveries in the Cotswolds: the Sisters Long Barrow, a 6,000-year-old burial monument built about a millennium before Stonehenge. The latest research from the site sheds new light on one of the biggest questions in British prehistory: who were the first farmers to settle these islands, and where did they come from? Prehistory expert Ronald Hutton, excavation director Luke Jenkins and landowner Will Chester Master share the latest findings from the final 2026 dig season, revealing evidence that transforms our understanding of the people who brought farming to Britain and placing the monument within the wider story of Neolithic long barrows. Chaired by Dave Musgrove.
