Anne Boleyn. Her Life as told by Lancelot de Carle's 1536 Letter.

In 1536, two weeks after the execution of Anne Boleyn, her brother George and four others, Lancelot du Carle, wrote an extraordinary letter that described Anne's life, and her trial and execution, to which he was a witness. This book presents a new translation of that letter, with additional material from other contemporary sources such as Letters, Hall's and Wriothesley's Chronicles, the pamphlets of Wynkyn the Worde, the Memorial of George Constantyne, the Portuguese Letter and the Baga de Secrets, all of which are provided in Appendices.

This Long Barrow is not marked on the map and has not been noticed before. It was found quite accidentally during a walk. It is only 60 feet long, and is about 30 feet wide at the north-east end (highest and broadest). Here are the remains of two uprights visible; the chamber has apparently been dug into a long time ago. Other large stones are visible above the surface of the mound further to the south-west. The two uprights are set at right angles to each other, the eastern-most being at right angles to the long axis of the mound. The other upright is to the north-west of it. Close by on the north-west is a very small mound which has been dug into. The mounds lie on a spur above the pass leading from Cwm Sorgwm to Llangorse and the north-west, where is a col between Mynydd Troed on the N.E. and Mynydd Llangorse on the S.W.
