Ballachrink, Lonan Burial Mound

Archaeology

A group of seven mounds annotated as 'Cairns' are shown here on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map in the fields numbered as Plots 648 and 1478.  All but one of these were reportedly levelled in 1895.


This barrow is a ditchless, grass and gorse covered bowl barrow with diameter of 9.0 metres and height of 0.7 metres. A wall crosses it in the northwest to the northwest of which it has been ploughed out. A few loose stones apparently from the wall lie on top of the mound.
