Ey up Wysie!

Seems there's been a debate amongst archaeo's about the precise status of this site. In Corcoran's study (1969) of Cotswold's chambered tombs he assigns it to being a chambered cairn; but Frances Lynch (1969) told that no consensus agreement has been made, as no burial was found here, saying W.G. Grimes "has recently claimed that one at Ablington (GLO 26) is defintiely neolithic, although there were no finds in support." If I were you I'd stick it on as a chambered cairn. If we find it to be specifically defined as something else, just change its status if/when the info arises.

All the best - Paulus
