6 The type, single-celled, wedge-shaped and entered between two pillar-stones from a passage was discussed by Ward, writing on Five Wells ( Ward, J., Reliq. and III. Arch., N.S. VII, p. 229-42Google Scholar). Daniel, relying exclusively on plans, has obscured several important features. The whole question will be discussed at length in the paper already referred to. It should be added that the Bride-stones has no morphological claim to a place in the Peak group.
