Cronk Bouyr Burial Mound, Ballakesh

Archaeology

A grass covered, ditchless, bowl shaped mound with a diameter of 15.0 metres and height of 1.9 metres but it has been damaged by sheep scrapes.  The barrow was opened in 1928, revealing two empty graves built of coursed stones, as well as a cist of stones on edge, with a capstone, containing incinerated bones.
