I forgot...
I don't know how it could happen. I completely forgot one area, actually two but that's another story. So when talking to one of my colleagues about Zork and old times he said: "When I played Zork I'd never understood what a barrow was. I was later when I read a book about the stone age I got it." - Barrow? I said. - What barrow? Now the barrow area is a very small one but important in it's own way, but it's no excuse to leave it out. :) So I took my bike and rode home for lunch and a quick modding. Here's the result. It's a bit dark, but that's how it is at night. If you click the image you'll see the details better.

Yeah that's a handy little placable isn't it? I was planning to use them in a similar fashion for the Tombs of Dekan Thar which are nothing but a series of Barrows which are the burial grounds of an old band of thieves.
It was bound to happen at one point, due to me never having fully completed the game myself, but that point is finally reached: I don't remember the barrow. In fact, it is very likely I never got to the barrow while playing Zork.
I am relieved - I was getting afraid I might seem all-knowing of everything in Zork. *laughs* :P ;)
(It looks great, by the way. :) )

:) The weird thing is that I saw your Claw Hollow area with those mounds and I still didn't remember the Stone Barrow in Zork.

I would say that very few people reached the Barrow without help from the walk through or invisiclue book. Me myself was very young and didn't have the money to buy the clue book or call the support number in the US.
