I writing in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction to learn about the ancient kings of Celtic Cornwall. I have recently become very interested in the subject while playing the computer game known as Barrow Hill. (www.barrow-hill.co.uk)

The story, set on the Autumn Equinox, is centred on a burial mound (the barrow of the title) and a decorative stone circle added to the site in the early Bronze Age. The game is set during the present day when an excavation of the site by archaeologists disturbs that which sleeps within the barrow. There is a fascinating legend that an ancient king/(or ruler) was buried (prematurely) inside the barrow tomb, while his knights guard over the site in the form of the standing stones. It's a great story, and seems very traditional, so I am wondering if the narrative continues an exiting myth, or known legend?

Lastly, I heartily recommend the game to anyone interested in stone circles, megalithic sites and Celtic legends. I'm not usually a fan of computer games, but this one is gore and action free, and features a thriller-like story and lots of pagan puzzling.

Any pointers to where I could look for details on the Celtic Cornish kings would be much appreciated. Also, is there a real stone circle known as Barrow Hill. My searches have only found a train yard, and bowling group!

Thanks,
