Adam's Grave was a Neolithic long barrow near Alton Barnes in Wiltshire, southwest England. Its remains have been scheduled as an ancient monument. The barrow is considered to be of the Severn-Cotswold tomb type. These generally consist of long, precisely built trapezoidal earth mounds covering burial chambers, thus they are a type of chambered long barrow. The chamber, made of sarsen stones, contained partial human skeletons. An arrowhead was also recovered. There is a breast-shaped hill on the spot, with the remains of the barrow being 70 metres (230 ft) long and around 7 metres (23 ft) high with ditches on either side. It was partially excavated by John Thurnam in 1860. The area around Adam's Grave has a high density of long barrows and is important because of its archaeological potenti

- Adam’s Grave (auch Walker Hill oder Woden’s Barrow – deutsch „Odins Hügel“) ist ein Langhügel (englisch Long Barrow), nördlich von Alton Barnes, südwestlich von Marlborough in Wiltshire in England. Der trapezoide Langhügel ist etwa 6,0 Meter hoch und 60,0 Meter lang. Auf jeder Langseite sind noch etwa 6,0 Meter breite und 0,9 Meter tiefe (ursprünglich tiefere) Gräben zu erkennen. Am Südostende sind Spuren einer Kammer (zwei Sarsensteine) zu sehen, die umgangssprachlich als „Alter Adam“ und „Kleine Eva“ bezeichnet werden. Es wird angenommen, dass Adams Grab ein Cotswold Severn Tomb war, dessen Exedra in „post and panel technique“ (Pfosten und Platten) aus Monolithen und Trockenmauerwerk konstruiert war. (de)

- Adam’s Grave (auch Walker Hill oder Woden’s Barrow – deutsch „Odins Hügel“) ist ein Langhügel (englisch Long Barrow), nördlich von Alton Barnes, südwestlich von Marlborough in Wiltshire in England. Der trapezoide Langhügel ist etwa 6,0 Meter hoch und 60,0 Meter lang. Auf jeder Langseite sind noch etwa 6,0 Meter breite und 0,9 Meter tiefe (ursprünglich tiefere) Gräben zu erkennen.

Es wird angenommen, dass Adams Grab ein Cotswold Severn Tomb war, dessen Exedra in „post and panel technique“ (Pfosten und Platten) aus Monolithen und Trockenmauerwerk konstruiert war. 1860 untersuchte John Thurnam (1810–1873) die Kammer und fand drei oder vier unvollständige Skelette und eine blattförmige Pfeilspitze. Um den Hügel scheint es ursprünglich eine Stützmauer aus Sarsensteinen und Trockenmauerwerk gegeben zu haben. Adam's Grave wurde als Wodnesbeorg (Wotansberg) oder Wodansbury bekannt, als hier 715 n. Chr. die Battle of Woden's Burg (715) zwischen den Königen von Wessex (Ine) und Mercia (Ceolred) stattfand. ist ein Clyde Tomb auf der Cowal-Halbinsel in Argyll and Bute. (de)

It was partially excavated by John Thurnam in 1860. The area around Adam's Grave has a high density of long barrows and is important because of its archaeological potential. The arrangement of stones around the site suggests there was once a kerb or forecourt. They are known as ‘Old Adam and ‘Little Eve’ and are near the original entrance to the barrow. According to folklore the barrow is the grave of a giant, and his ghost has been reported. Associations with the nearby monument at Avebury have also been suggested. In the Anglo-Saxon period it was known as "Woden's Barrow" (Old English "Wōdnesbeorġ") and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records two battles at the site in 592 and 715. (en)
