Also, reading these and the posts on the MA about the barrow do you think what you found is the original site of the barrow (fingers crossed it is as that would be excellent!) or where the stones of the chamber + facade had been moved to?


Cetainly resembles the original drawings, and if you are going to dismantle you would dump them somewhere more level rather than the effort of placing them on another slope


i agree, it's the kerb thats been moved ,not the huge stones. atkinson rescue excavated the mound after the kerb was moved and ploughing started on the mound, the big stones have always been there, remember they were very hidden when we found them, hawthorn and the dreaded brambles.
