436 DESCRIPTION OF THE CARLAND BARROTVS. 



mentioned above, there are three small barrows to the eastern 

 side of it running due east and west. From the barrow that 

 stands close by the road from Garland to Landrine, and situated 

 south east from the demolished barrow, is a series of barrows, 

 eight in number, of bowl formation, six of which run in line nearly- 

 north and south with the seventh standing to the east and the 

 eighth to the west of the course. The second of this series is 

 Hendra barrow, which differs slightly from the others, in being 

 much larger, (in fact, the largest of the Garland barrows), and 

 elongated from north to south. From this there is a clear view 

 south-west towards Garnmenellis and Garnmarth. The other 

 barrows, in a line with this, are in Hendra Plantation and, 

 without a close search, are difficult to find. The western group 

 have not the uniform lines (or courses) of the eastern, and differ 

 also in their size and shape, as Bowl, Bell and Broad barrows 

 are here represented. The most important of all the Garland 

 barrows, is Warren's, which towers above and dwarfs the rest, 

 with the exception of Hendra. It looks as if it were a barrow 

 upon a barrow, and shows a distinct step or flat ring around the 

 centre. Almost due south from this point is a fine bell barrow, 

 which has lost (as all on Garland have) its outer ring of stones. 

 These stones have probably been used for building purposes. To the 

 south again are two more barrows in a direct line at right angles 

 to the last mentioned. These were once very large, but have been 

 greatly ploughed down, so that in a few years they may be 

 altogether lost. In all probability these were broad barrows. 

 Only about half of one side of the easterly one now remains, and 

 it seems to have been originally surrounded by a fosse. To the west 

 of the Bell Barrow is another much ploughed down bowl barrow ; 

 while still further to the west, in the adjoining croft, are two small 

 bowl barrows which run due N. and S., between which is a hut 

 circle not marked on the Ordnance- Survey Map. It is very 

 singular that this should be the only hut circle to be found on 

 Garland amidst such a large number of barrows. It is ^^ feet in 

 diameter on the outside and 27 inside. The entrance has been 

 destroyed and only two-thirds of its walls are now remaining. 

 Of Warren's Barrow the interest centres in its dissimilarity to the 

 rest of the tumuli on Garland. Its step formation raises the
