Image of Stalldown Barrow and Hillson’s House (Cairn(s)) by Lubin

This is one of the much modified cairns in this area, this one being more modified than others in that it once had a house on it , the cairn being 20 metres in diameter. Legend has it that the house was lived in by a clock maker although some say he was more likely to have been a peat cutter.
