In the absence of any name I know of I’ve given it this name. This barrow has fortunately survived the Crowdy Reservoir, and is now sandwiched between the track to the Crowdy Reservoir car park, and another small track that leads down to the bottom of the dam. It’s about 15 metres across and has a large hollow on top. A single stone (about a metre tall) stands on the north edge of the barrow.
A small map in “Bodmin Moor’s Archaeological Heritage” by Peter Herring and Peter Rose (Cornwall County Council - 2001) suggests that there are two other barrows on the other side of the dam. I think there are traces of a possible barrow about 40m away from the Easterly side of the dam (parallel with the shoreline). There are three stones here, a very slight mound and a central depression.
