TheCaptain visited on 10th Jun 2023 Big walk round the Botallack mines area today, starting off by walking up to the top of Carn Kenidjack, so have a look at the barrow while I am on the way there. Some lovely cattle grazing up here, who don't seem to mind my presence as I greet them all.

Carnbean Barrows
Carnbean Barrows submitted by Bladup : Carnbean Barrow SW38283313., Well well well, who'd have thought there'd be a undeniable large disc barrow here in this part of sunny Cornwall, it even has it's little central mound intact, I've been here before but it was very overgrown but now it's clear (well done the clearers) and blooming heck I never expected to see this!!!
