We really enjoy looking at lumps of dirt. But seriously that mound is a barrow, a burial site. Barrows are far from unique to Stonehenge, but the density of them here is. They are scattered around everywhere from single graves to tombs holding 45 people and some of them are as old as 4,000 BC. It's hard to wrap your mind around the timeline of 6,017 years of history.
