Ballowall Barrow

Ballowall Barrow is a prehistoric funerary cairn which Ashbee and Hencken state contains several phases of use from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age [1]. It is situated on the cliff top at Ballowall Common, near St Just in Cornwall, England [1]. It is also known as Carn Gluze Barrow [1]. It was first excavated in 1878 by William Copeland Borlase, when it was discovered under mining debris [1]. The barrow is 72 feet (22 m) in diameter [1]. The Cornwall and Scilly Historic Environment Record describes it as a central domed structure, containing cists and with a pit beneath, surrounded by an outer cairn also containing cists [1]. An entrance grave is located in the external side of the outer cairn [1].
