Ballajora Burial Mound

Archaeology

The site of a Bronze Age bowl barrow described as having a cist. It is a fern-covered, ditchless bowl barrow much mutilated on the top. Its diameter is 14.0 metres and the maximum height is 0.6 metres. On the north side is a cist, orientated northwest to southeast, lined on all sides but the south with stone slabs. The cist measures 1.0 metre by 0.6 metres and is largely filled in, its depth now being 0.2 metres. It was formerly supposed to be the site of a keeill, but has been reinterpreted as a Bronze Age funerary site.
