Folklore and Folk Tradition
Local folklore first recorded in 1946 recounts the story that it is impossible for any human being to successfully count the number of stones at Coldrum. This "countless stones" motif is not unique to this particular site, and can be found at various other megalithic monuments in Britain.
It is a local tradition that the Hartley Morris Men, a morris dancing troupe, travel to the stones at dawn every May Day in order to "sing up the sun". This consists of a number of dances perforned within the stones on top of the barrow, followed by a song performed at the base of the stones.

Famous quotes containing the words folklore, folk and/or tradition:
“So, too, if, to our surprise, we should meet one of these morons whose remarks are so conspicuous a part of the folklore of the world of the radio—remarks made without using either the tongue or the brain, spouted much like the spoutings of small whales—we should recognize him as below the level of nature but not as below the level of the imagination.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open eye—
So priketh hem nature in hir corages—
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
