I don't want to teach you how to suck eggs - I'm sure you've got 'Hampshire Barrows' and 'Folklore of Prehistoric Sites in Britain' by Leslie Grinsell? What is your MA in overall?

Replying to Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon, yeah I've got those & the Wendy Boase book from the Batsford Folklore series. I'm studying for an MA in Local & Regional History & Archaeology at University College Winchester and doing my thesis on development of folklore at prehistoric sites in the Wessex region. What i'm looking for is current folktales that I can compare with older accounts...
