I had a look at the holes in the top of the barrow recently (26 january 2008) mostly it looks like the smallish stones that fill them have just been tossed back into the holes at random possibly after they were dug or during later excavations. In one hole judging from how the stones are lying it looks like they had been built into a low wall (roughly coursed) around the hole and at some later date they were pushed over into the hole - since you can still see some coursing in the fallen stones. It may have been in this hole that Grinsell saw the other large stone back in the 1930's.
