When Tiompan put the magic map up on the Waden thread, I tried to find the other barrow cemeteries on Overton Hill, and noticed we all put our bronze age barrows on the Seofran barrow group, whereas in reality some of them are strung along the Ridgeway.
So if you walk up past the seven barrows on the Ridgeway, you then come to a solitary barrow on your right, then on the crest is the three big barrows to the left, with a singular? (its marked by a stone on top, and someone used to leave plastic flowers there)..but these are separate at SU115 685 but are still classed as a barrow cemetery.
Whilst this may be unimportant if you're not interested in bronze age barrows, it does mean that there are several groupings of barrow cemeteries around, with occasional singular ones..... took me ages to work all that out...
