- A short meditational portrait of Belas Knap set to music with no voice over or narrative.
This is a 4K remaster of an earlier version originally published in October 2018.
Belas Knap Long Barrow, is near Winchcombe in Gloucestershire. The barrow was probably constructed around 3000 BC and was used for successive burials over a period of years until eventually the burial chambers were deliberately blocked.
Opinion differs as to the reason for the false portal. It may have been to deter robbers, although little in the way of value has been found in undisturbed tomb chambers. Alternatively, it could be that the false entrance functioned as a ‘spirit door’, intended to allow the dead to come and go and partake of offerings brought to the tomb by their descendants.
Production: MICHAEL BOTT
Music: "Prelude" by This Patch of Sky from the Artlist music library.

Stunning beautifully done!
Loved the color in the flowers!
Wow! Just Wow!
Absolutely the best drone shot video of this gorgeously preserved barrow. Stunning beyond belief
Bravo Michael. You are a sublime film maker and the drone only serves to enhance your arsenal of techniques to bring us such powerful images. Thankyou
I just kept repeating "Wow!" But I admit that the cello helps my heart beat faster. Thank you SO-O-O much for this.
Beautifully done with the music and photography.
Isn't this lovely! What a beautiful day! I wish I could have been there. I'm glad this has survived and is projected.
Absolutely amazing video.
Thank you so much for creating and sharing
Wonderful! It's decades since I last visited so will pay a further visit this year. Superb footage and music - thank you very much.
Outstanding short again, and a reminder of Summer. Belus Knap is a must for all enthusiasts, great work, thanks.
So beautiful! Watching the flowers and waving grasses, the crescendo as the stone walls framed the horizon, I felt a strange bond with the monument which I can't explain! An elegiac and sensitive film, and a brave one without words.Thank you for making this.
Live only 45 miles away but have never visited. Will have to go when spring arrives!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for sharing this. What an awesome view of Belas Knap. I grew up living five miles from the place and loved every visit to ancient site.
This type of content is very accessible. Frequently posted short form, delivers and gains casual views, pre history news is very popular, I hope you guys can springboard from here, great channel and a beautiful film, I visited here last summer based on this film, thanks to you both.
Exquisite video. Thank you.
That was absolutely amazing and one of the reasons why I always click like before I ever even watch the video here on this channel
Beautiful, Michael, showing all your talents. Thank you
And here I go thinking this is some of that stock footage you said you were going to go out and gather on last weeks Q&A. But alas I read the description.
Kidding, very beautiful and I hope to one day to get some of my own footage here in the States of some Pre-Colombian monuments and henges most people aren't aware North America even had. Sad 😞
Bravo! Well done sir. Well done.
I love your videos. Thanks.
Well you've combined two of my favorite things: the Neolithic and This Patch of Sky.
Well done.
Beautifully done Sir. Nice to come up and suddenly the "door" appears. The melancholic cello was an excellent pick. Very well done video, thank you very much for sharing this.
Fantastic camera work.
I sheltered from a blizzard in Belas once, amazing place. Thank you
Fancy a visit 2022!
I woke up this morning and thought, "I must watch and listen to Michael Bott's piece on Belas knap". So I did, and thought, "that's exactly as impressive as I remember it." Feel free to indulge your artistic side, and thanks again for the channel!
BRAVO
I was just starting to think, this is all very lovely and atmospheric and everything, but why is there no talking - then I read the title properly - doh!
Beautiful.
Groovy...Nice...)
Lovely. Thank you for sharing from Emanuel County GA USA

Flying round stones?... beautiful ....mesmerizing...

Wow!
Beautiful video!
Beautiful
Filming excellence
What a beautiful place to rest for all eternity
Goodness me!
Tidy. 👍
Is that what Newgrange ahould look like?
Unusual shape, no?
Kinda looks like a certain part of the female body, maybe they saw putting a body in there for burial as returning the person to Mother Earth's womb.
Pardon my ancient German/Nordic, but *FUCK* that was brilliant! And I don't mean brilliant in the way the Brits use the word, much like Americans overuse *_awesome_* and such. No, this was inspired, evocative, and ineffably poignant, delivered to the viewer without comment as none was necessary. And in 4k no less. Outstanding! If this is any hint at all of what Standing With Stones 2 will be like...oh my...
So that’s a barrow! My only other experience of this word is in Lord of the Rings when hobbits get trapped in a barrow and I never had a clue what was being discussed. That and wheelbarrow. This word and structure doesn’t exist in the heartland of North America
