...there's more to see at a barrow/pile of stones than just the monument itself, like the view from it, or its relationship to other features/sites in the landscape, which make you think about why it was put where it was put.


Aye, that's true enough :-) ...

"Looking for something else, I came once
To a cromlech in a field of barley,
Whoever framed that field had real
Priorities. He sowed good grain
To the tombs doorstep. No path...

The bearded foam, rummaged
By wind from the westerly sea-track,
Broke short not over it. Skirted
By squalls of that year's harvest,
That tomb belonged in that field."*
