Minions Mound
Date Added: 21st Jun 2023
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jun 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 4
Minions Mound submitted by windowman on 21st Jan 2012. Minions Mound, a bronze age cairn that is situated by the car park for the Hurlers stone circle site. Easy to miss, many if not all the visitors to the car park are probably unaware just what this small mound is. The mound was damaged when the walls for the adjacent cottages were built, and half the mound was cut away, forming a 'D' shape. The cairn gave it's name to the village of Minions, which was previously called Cheewring Railway, a major junction point for the original Liskeard and Carad...

Log Text: The stone wall constructed round the mound may be protecting it for future antiquarians, however it also disguises the antiquity of the site.

Merrivale Second Menhir and Cairn submitted by Anne T on 9th Jul 2019. To show the relationship of these monuments with the tall Merrivale Menhir, the recumbent granite pillar is in the foreground, with its pit immediately behind it; the cairn is visible as a low mound behind it (just right of centre) The tall menhir is in the background. The cairn is 5.5m from the menhirs and the granite slab 2m from the cairn. Row 4 runs from the centre to the middle left of the photo; the western stone of row 6 is to the left hand side of the menhir.

Log Text: I wasn't sure if the recumbent stone was part of an alignment with the standing stone or part of the ruined cairn.
