From an old society of antiquaries report from 1896 called 'Ancient British Barrows'. I do a lot of 'digging' around 2nd hand book shops and sometimes it pays off.

PS I do have some text to post up too, but it's a report covering loadsa sites and comparing them (i.e. number of skeletons in each), so tis a lot of fun unpicking it. The language can be a little confusing as well (they call round barrows 'long barrows' when there not and it's all a bit 'cromlech' for my liking. Soooooo 19th Century LOL :-)

Are there any sites your particularly interested in? (it seems to focus only on Wiltshire)

Some good material hidden in them there old bookshops. Half of 'em have closed down up north since this 'ere internet went big. Is the Ancient British Barrows work by Thurnam? I've gotta find a copy.

Not really - I just like a lot of the old drawings. The conjectured West Kennett longbarrow picture isn't one I've seen before. Good stuff!
