Would they cut trees down & lie the branches out in line with barrows? Or just build with their branches?

There is an excellent book by Ronald Hutton on the druids called 'Mistletoe and Blood', a review here......

It will explain the history of druidism but not answer how the barrows were aligned, could be they were following a trackway ;)
