Childe's Tomb continued;
Devon folk singer Seth Lakeman sang about Childe the Hunter on his 2006 album Freedom Fields.
Dartmoor folk singer Jim Causley sang Childe the Hunter, a traditional song from the Baring Gould Collection, on Songs of Dartmoor 2023.... The story was put to verse in 1899 by Sabine Baring Gould as Brennan Moor.


Can you give a more specific citation? Because I've never seen "Childe the Hunter," and there is no such song in the Roud Index. Or do you mean that it is a traditional tale, and that Baring-Gould made it into a non-traditional song?
