Round Barrow in Cornwall

Round barrow in good condition about a mile north-west of St Keverne on the Lizard.

The barrow crowns the top of Roscruge Beacon, with good views over towards the Helford. The hill is most likely named after the barrow with 'crug' being Cornish for tomb or barrow.

Access There is a stile into the field for access although no footpath marked.
