Trust me!!! it,s them in the right place, part of the way i found them was by their position in the land , the symmetry of the land only lets it be there, and a guy on pastscape called barker who says he saw the kerbstones been bulldozed [so he knows the site], says they have the number wrong and it's 14787135, exactly where they are.http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogu[...]on/pdf/disk8/fwp74/r4edfyf.pdf http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogu[...]ion/pdf/disk8/fwp66/fwp66b.pdf These refer to the barrow and on reading these it mentions the confusion on the position of the barrow. Also, reading these and the posts on the MA about the barrow do you think what you found is the original site of the barrow (fingers crossed it is as that would be excellent!) or where the stones of the chamber + facade had been moved to?
