Waylands Smithy, Oxfordshire, UK. This is the site of a Neolithic chamber tomb and a long barrow tomb. Excavations between 1962 and 1963 proved they were built in different time periods. A timber oval chamber was built around 3700 BC followed by a stone long barrow chamber built around 3400 BC.

Waylands Smithy was named by Saxon settlers who thought the tomb was the work of one of their Gods, Wayland the Smith
