Early Bronze Age people buried their dead beneath earth mounds known as barrows, often with a beaker alongside the body. These barrows became more elaborate in size and shape up to about 1600 BC. The barrows were usually built near older stone, earth and timber monuments such as Stonehenge and Avebury to form ceremonial landscapes.
