A Neolithic long cairn located on Louden Hill on north western Bodmin Moor. Not to be confused with the medieval long houses which are nearby.

Louden Long Cairn
Louden Long Cairn submitted by davep : I found the site in the photo at SX 14025 80332 using the grid reference for this Megalithic Portal entry. It matches the description of a site on the HER which also matches this grid reference with HER uid=MCO11015. There is an entry on Pstscape entry for the medieval long houses by the foot of Roughtor which could not conceivably be confused with long cairns. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Louden Long Cairn
Louden Long Cairn submitted by dooclay : This is from the third time I have visited the area looking for the Louden Long Cairn. Each time I have photographed something different but I think this is the real deal. it is orientated approximately N-S as is the HER Map entry and is located just down hill from the Medieval Long Houses of Louden.

Louden Long Cairn submitted by LiveAndrew : The Longhouse/Long Barrow. Looks like the foundations were in recent use (sometime in the 20th century) as there's a few pieces of collapsed timber and corrugated iron inside. (Vote or comment on this photo)
