Ballacroak Burial Mound

Archaeology

The larger example of two ditched turf covered bowl barrows within the same field. The barrow has been clipped at the base by ploughing but survive as an upstanding mound. It has a diameter of 12.5 metres and a height of 1.7 metres. There is a hollow on top of the mound, measuring 2.4 metres in diameter and 0.3 metres deep, which may be evidence that an early attempt was made to dig into the barrow.
