‘Five, possibly six, barrows are known, though another (LVG 5) has been claimed between Braytown and Quarr Hill. Coles Barrow on Wool Heath (LVG 7) has not been located but (45) is probably one of two formerly noted S. of Quarr Hill. A biconical urn and a bucket urn, apparently from barrows respectively on Quarr Hill and near Wool, are now in the B.M. and D.C.M. (Ant. J. XIII (1933), 448).’
