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 very spread, grass covered bowl barrow, covered with small stones but not more excessively than the rest of the field.  It has a diameter of approximate 20.0 metres and its height averages 0.2 metres.
