Hensbarrow is an exceptionally large and important barrow - at 5.4m high, one of the biggest in Cornwall and well situated both for a barrow and its use as a Medieval beacon site. The modern trouble is that even though the barrow is higher than 312m above sea level it's now surrounded by horrible china clay spoil heaps that tower over you in most directions. The only decent view nowadays is to the north north west.
