Visited 21.6.2011 on a coast path walk from Porthleven to Mullion Cove. The South West Coast Path runs right past the barrow. Sadly, there is little to see of what must once have been a decent-sized mound. Only a determined eye can even detect the slight rise in the grass. Compensations come from the lovely surroundings and the dramatic rocky headland of Halzephron Cliff itself. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Very reduced clifftop barrow. Pastscape information suggests urns were found, but does not give a source for the quote: The mound is most probably the barrow at SW 65352110 which is 26.0 m in diameter and 0.8 m high. It is conjectural that this is the "almost levelled tumulus" where the urns were found in 1898. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
