Another unsung Cornish archaeologist is Charles Croft Andrew who was probably the first to pay attention to the construction and phasing of the mound in two years he excavated and meticulously recorded 36 barrows ,interestingly ,one group of 25 on Davidstow Moor produced only three cases of of evidence for deposition of human remains .


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 :-)
