"The village folk will have it that the mound was reared over the body of an imaginary General Stapleton, 'killed in the Civil Wars''; and they account for its unusual height by declaring that the general, an exceptionally tall man, was buried standing upright."
quoted in Grinsell's 'Ancient Burial Mounds of England' (1936).
