Located to the immediate west of the Crowdy Reservoir, facing the dam, I neglected to visit this round barrow when last in the area visiting the Advent ‘Triple Barrow’ during 2017. The fact that this decision was in error became all too obvious as soon as I clapped eyes upon its substantial profile this time around, the monument apparently getting on for 9ft in height with a diameter of c62ft.
Historic England reckons:
“The monument includes a bowl barrow, situated on a south east facing slope, overlooking the valley of a tributary to the River Camel. The bowl barrow survives as a circular mound measuring 19m in diameter and up to 2.7m m high on the downslope side. It has a largely-buried surrounding quarry ditch, from which material to construct the mound was derived, measuring up to 4m wide and 0.2m deep. In the centre if the mound is an early excavation hollow.
