Ballowall Barrow

In a spectacular cliff-edge position, this unique Bronze Age tomb had a long and complex history as a sacred site.

Ballowall Barrow is one of the largest and most complex of the prehistoric funerary monuments that cluster along the West Penwith coastline. Often sited in dramatic locations, it is likely that they were built by local communities to provide striking shrines or tombs for the dead

Seen as excavated in 1878 by Cornish antiquarian William Borlase.
