Also the Coflein examples are not those mentioned by Grinsell which Bladup suggest he has seen described a ring barrows today .Interesting to see if the Coflein examples are like the Irish types .

Interestingly a search of Pastscape reveals a number of "Ring Barrows" in West Penwith, very close to where Bladup lives. More than in any other part of England. There's a lot of crossover with ring ditches and disc barrows though, it seems.
