Not heard of him at all, have to investigate further. That is interesting, that absence presumably includes cremation as well as inhumation? I don't suppose there's any reason why a barrow shouldn't be built and not used is there for some reason, but 22 seems a bit excessive! Maybe they were Co-op plots and never taken up :-) It looks like the earlier "open" sites were the ones most likely not to have burials .The Davidstow sites did have quartz ,fires , urns etc and ahve been interpreted as being "ritual "/commemorative rather than funereal .
