Fair enough, that's not historical yet. I was referring to the other 171
already mapped (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qiS).

It has been featured on Country File so known outside The Shire.

    Well, yes, they're not historic; they're prehistoric. But we tend
    to map those features with the historic tag nonetheless.

    I don't understand why you say that they're not archaeological,
    when they're written about by archaeologists and part of
    archaeological surveys.

    Like many British and Irish barrows (and maybe other areas, but I
    haven't looked at those in much detail), they are man_made=cairn,
    though, just under a layer of soil.

    Long barrows are not always archeological or even historic.

    Maybe they could be man_made=long_barrow.

        The last couple of days, I've been looking at tumuli/ barrows on the
        map, because it turns out, it's the same. I have added that information
        to the wiki
        (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:archaeological_site%3Dtumulus).
        In Ireland and the UK, I've also tried to tidy up the tags, so there are
        now no archaeological_site=barrow/ ring-barrow/ round_barrow etc.

        I've also drawn diagrams of the different types of tumuli and added a
        table on the above mentioned tumulus wiki page which also shows possible
        redundant tags.

        However, long barrow is documented as archaeological_site=megalith +
        megalith_type=long_barrow. They should all fall into the same hierarchy.
        This is really my question - should long barrows not also be tagged as
        archaeological_site=tumulus + tumulus=long_barrow?

        Even when all tumuli are megaliths, but archaeological_site=megalith +
        megalith_type=tumulus + tumulus=long_barrow is a bit of an overkill, 
IMHO.
