      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.
