Full description

Worth, R. N., 1879, 1st Report of the Barrow Committee (Article in Serial). SDV310390.

Kelly. On our return we observed some heaps of stone and earth in a field near the road and went to examine them, in order to decide whether they were only such, or kairns and barrows. Which of these they are I am still, unable to determine; but I am most inclined to believe they are monuments of antiquity. Of the barrows there are eleven, one twenty three paces in circumference. Principally, if not entirely composed of earth.
