so a barrow IS the same as:
Burial Mound
Hlaew
Howe
Knowe
Tumulus

excellent - cheers baza!

Unless it's a wheel barrow ;-)

Sort of. A 1977 list of Orkney legend changes by the O.S. shows cairns, knowes, tumuli, mounds, to be seperate beasties from their point of view. A barrow to me is what you call a (funerary) site once you know it is man-made.
