A programme of geophysical survey at high resolution over the mounds and margins of a sample group of neolithic long barrows of Cotswold–Severn type has provided a basis for preliminary analysis and remedial conservation, detecting in several cases further structures within the vulnerable foreground area of the monument. These extensions to the mounded barrow area are discussed in terms of general function of monuments and as suggesting revised requirements for conservation. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
