Barrow Cemetery in Cornwall
I found out about this site by observing a 1870s map of Looe.
Admins note: just south of the grid reference given, the site of a tumulus is still marked on the HE map but there is no scheduling information. Pastscape also records the site of a Bronze Age barrow and probably site for a medieval/post medieval beacon - see Pastscape Monument No. 434864 , which gives a grid reference of SX 2608 5424; the barrow was extant in 1823 but later levelled. The field in which it was sited is now named Beacon Park.
