Thanks for the link Littlestone. Interesting idea on the Southey poem, about there being an Age of Fire (cremation) and an Age of Hills. There was an enormous output of written work during the victorian age, there fingers must have ached from the constant scribbling to record for posterity... like the idea of the savages of those bleak downlands burning their dead in some druidical ritual, it gives a new meaning to Silbury...
