The OS archaeology division did some sterling work but there are many examples that I can think of which were originally put down as moraine /natural which are now accepted as barrows .
This is slowly happening in Ireland, too. A lot of the original work was done by people pointing out known sites (i.e. those that had been plundered, usually). Now, folks are going around and seeing things and thinking, "Surely, that ain't natural."Sadly, unless a road is planned through these sites, we'll probably never know!
