Abstract
II.—The Cornish Cromlechs. FROM the point of view of orientation, the interest in barrows, tumuli, chambered cairns, dolmens and cromlechs lies in the assumption that they were built for live men to dwell in. That they all represent different stages of the same structure—stages depending upon decay due to the action of rain, pr wanton destruction in the interests of agriculture—can be gathered from a complete study of the whole evidence.
