^{page 125 note 1} Thurnam stated that the orientation of long barrows was east and west in two out of three or perhaps three out of four cases. In the Cotswold area there are twenty barrows orientated east and west, which is two out of five—the average orientation for the fifty barrows being very nearly south-east.

^{page 138 note 1} Mr. Overbury wrote as follows: ‘I visited the barrow twice during the progress of the excavations, on one occasion taking my experienced Cotswold clerk of works. Together we carefully examined the retaining walls and came to the conclusion that certainly the thinner ones—2 ft. and less in thickness—could alone never have supported the weight of the covering. Further; the external face of these walls when freshly revealed showed no signs of ever having been exposed to the weather. We also observed that clay existed in the joints of the masonry—which Mrs. Clifford describes as extra-revetment material—giving the appearance of mortar.’
