This and the eastern Bronze Age barrow may never have been excavated, as nothing is known of their contents, unlike the two slightly further north. |

(2006-02-25) | I've just confirmed that this IS a barrow. Craig Weatherhill's excellent book, 'Cornovia' (covering just about all the sites in Cornwall) has a plan of the site, with this mound clearly marked as a 'Barrow'.
Re-checking my OS map, the promontory is pincer-shaped, like a huge west-facing 'lobster claw', and the barrow sits high above a very narrow inlet at the 'claw's joint. |
