Lundy Barrow
Lundy Barrow submitted by Firewater : Close to a feature known as Halfway Wall this barrow lies just to the west of the main footpath. It's fairly typical of what you find all over the island although there are variations. Some have stone-lined cists beneath them and some have more surface stones than this one.

There are numerous barrows scattered across Lundy Island and this one is about half way to the north end.
