Image of Greenbarrow (Round Barrow(s)) by Mr Hamhead

To the south of the barrow there is marked on the OS map a circle of stones?...It is not marked as a stone circle and to my untrained eye, there is no sign of a circle. However, there are many stones lying around....could they be the reamins of something?

Greenbarrow – 31.3.2004. Looking South, past what is left of possible kerb, and slight ditch. Great Care Hill is just peeking out in background.

Greenbarrow

Round Barrow(s)

Visited 09.09.22

Greenbarrow was an obvious target on the SW horizon viewed from Greenbarrow NE Cairn. This impressive grass-covered barrow measures c. 25 yards in diameter with a central mound measuring c. 4 feet high. There is an earthfast Kerb Stone in the W Arc. There is also a large stone on the N Arc of the platform, possibly a displaced Kerb Stone. A ditch is visible between the Central Mound and the raised platform on the N Arc. The hollow centre of the barrow has irregular excavation pits.

Greenbarrow is listed as Cornwall & Scilly HER Number: 1634.20 (go to Links), part of a Bronze Age cairn cemetery. The NGR is recorded as SX 1298 7294.

Greenbarrow – 31.3.2004

Marked on the OS map. A large, easy to spot barrow. It literally is green and sticks out amongst the brown downland. One stone is stuck in the edge of the barrow as if it might be the last remnant of a kerb. A faint ditch also seems to circle as least part of the barrow.
