Known as the ‘Devil’s Humps‘and the ‘King's Graves,‘
many legends and folklores surround these Bronze Age
barrows. Whatever the truth the commanding position at
the very top of Kingley Vale is a clear indication that they
marked the resting place of important people, perhaps
tribal leaders. This may be evidence of the beginnings of
social hierarchies at this time.
