What is recorded here
One chamber is a visible ring-barrow, one is a hidden chamber beneath the hill, and one is a chamber never built because no one has entered it. The second chamber is the reason the first chamber still exists. The third chamber is the reason the second chamber cannot be spoken about.
In 1939 notes by Capt. D. B. O'Connell, attached with a letter to Harold G. Leask states=d that the 'fine ''cup-barrow'' and the gallaun on the summit are still there.' The standing stone in question appears to be KE020-020001-.
