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 :-)
