Briefly what is the difference between a chambered long cairn and a chambered long barrow ? Is it just the covering material ?

I was quite rude to the man in Dublin - an academic - who would be interested in Fourwind's find. 'Think snooker ace surname and put doctor in front'. He'll have a phone number at the uni in the book, no doubt.

As far as i'm aware, it is as you say.

Earth = barrow
Stones = cairn

once the burial bit starts getting complicated you can add the word: chambered.

I know M. He's alright.
