Ballabeg Burial Mound
Archaeology
The remains of a kerbed Bronze Age barrow can still be seen in the field here. It is a ditchless, grass-covered bowl barrow which has been much burrowed by rabbits. The diameter of the barrow is 12.0 metres and it still stands to approximately 0.8 metres high. A circle of some 10 large white quartz blocks which form the kerb of the barrow remain in place, the largest of which is 1.9 metres long, 0.7 metres wide and 0.9 metres high.
The feature is known locally as 'the Old Churchyard'. A scatter of Mesolithic "Heavy-blade" type flints have been picked up in the same field (PRN 0422.10).
