Abstract
The Nympsfield chambered tomb or long barrow (NGR SO 79390132) is situated to the north-west of Nympsfield village, in the parish of Frocester, and occupies a position on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. The tomb is at 237 m (777 ft) above Ordnance Datum, on a slight eminence, and lies on a bedrock of Inferior Oolite limestone. The site overlooks the Severn Valley, though the view in this direction is currently obscured by the trees of the wooded scarp slope, which in turn prevents an assessment of whether or not the tomb could be seen from the Vale (Note 1, following Appendices).
