The first "Neolithic" burial barrow to be built in the UK for 5,500 years has been completed and already the first urn of human ashes has been placed inside. The structure took almost nine months to build, using traditional materials and stone working techniques and cost about $350,000, It can hold about 1,000 urns and has now opened officially. The long barrow contains four large chambers, each housing 55 niches, which are each able to hold four or five urns. A smaller "secret" chamber is able to house single urns in smaller niches. Clients are charged about £1,000 for use of a niche.
