I only wish to remark that these heathland reclamations were responsible for the destruction of the vast majority of barrow cemeteries.
Seen from this perspective, it is understandable that the notion that the urnfields and barrows were funerary monuments is never found in the sagas.
The barrows, which were clearly visible in the landscape as 'unnatural' features, may have been related to earlier mythical inhabitants of the land.
And might the lack of earlier barrow destruction also have something to do with more extensive farming systems?
We can say that these zones saw the development of real 'barrow landscapes'.
These so-called bottom graves are known exclusively from large barrows and were associated with richer funerary gifts than shaft graves.
The two barrows with middle bronze age cremations both have shallow ditches, interrupted by a causeway to the south.
Because of the continuity in aspects of burial ritual, barrows could still be interpreted as 'graves of former inhabitants'.
