So what do you call a hill topped by a large cairn/barrow? How about Cairn/Barrow? That'll do.

You can see a picture of the Porosphaera beads (mentioned above by Gladman) in this article by Christopher Duffin: 'Herbert Toms (1874–1940), Witch Stones, and Porosphaera Beads'. Herbert Toms collected lots of folklore about naturally perforated stones. It's in Folklore v.122, April 2011.

Pretty ironic that perhaps the largest monument in the area is the one no one can see... or almost no one.

Sometimes you just can't see the monument for the trees.........
