Thats very sweet of TSC ;), enormous amount of information there and interesting even if I was'nt worrying about wind turbines. I figured the 'race track' was an old green road because it ran past the barrows in a very roman/bronze age manner. ....

Will check out Canon Greenwell, Grinsell was a Bristol man into spelaeological?? society there, Rhiannon must know of his work... though he's been dead quite a few years now...


You're very welcome - at home today awaiting a delivery and research sharpens the mind after all, especially using good old papery books...

The Race Course is a race course, but not a conventional one:

Grinsell - Leslie Grinsell was one of the great 20th century authorities on barrows, he visited hundreds (all pre-TMA even!) and recorded what he found faithfully. He also wrote a nice book on the folklore of prehistoric sites, which I'm sure Rhiannon will know.
