The structure was commissioned by farmer and Stonehenge steward Timothy Daw,[1] and completed in 2014.[2] A sequence of stone chambers under an earthen mound contains 340 niches for the placement of cremation urns, which were sold for £1,000 each to pay for the construction of the barrow.[3]
BBC television programme Countryfile filmed at the barrow in 2016.[4]
In 2018 it was approved as a place of worship.[5]
The barrow has been associated with the revival of barrow building in the UK.[6][7][8]
