I don't know where the particular barrows are/were (but I will sooner or later and will link to the photos when I find out).

Cheers for that Rhiannon.
I love this picture of William Cunnington and his daughter scuttling home with a lovely big urn.

Thanks Rhiannon, the jewellery was beautiful. Had forgotten about Robin Tanner's woodcuts. Been looking today for Heywood Sumner - artist and archaeologist (preraphaelite time). Theres an aerial picture painted by him of Hod and Hambledon Hill, but its in a private collection. He also did some illustrations of Cranbourne Chase antiquities...

Lovely museum! I seem to remember that it was threatened with closure a few years ago. Glad to see that it overcame its financial difficulties. Interesting website and some of the gold pieces from Bush barrow featured in Bernard Cornwell's Stonehenge novel.
