Barrow / Cairn Cemetery

There are traces of fourteen - or maybe even more - Bronze Age round barrows on top of Small Down Knoll. They're enclosed by the banks and ditches of a later hillfort. The builders didn't consider all those barrows to be in the way?
One of the barrows contains a golden coffin - but which one? How confusing.
(mentioned in Grinsell's 1976 'Folklore of Prehistoric Sites in Britain', originally from the Somerset Year Book for 1933., p107.)
