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.

The earlier ones look like what we now call disc barrows . Grinsell obviously changed the typology when the 1936 book was revised as none of his earlier "ring barrows " retained the name also he never described the Lodge Park mound as ring barrow at any time .
