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.

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.
