Ballowall Barrow

Ballowall Barrow is a Bronze age chambered tomb, or cairn, near St Just in Cornwall, England, UK. Excavated in 1878 by William Borlase, [cite web |url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.15212 |title=Ballowall Barrow |accessdate=2008-06-14 |publisher=English Heritage] the barrow is Convert|72|ft in diameter. The construction of the site is unique with a combination of Neolithic and Bronze age funerary rituals.cite web |url=http://www.historic-cornwall.org.uk/a2m/bronze_age/cairn/ballowall/ballowall.htm |title=Access to Monuments - Ballowall Barrow |accessdate=2008-06-14 | date =2007-09-14|work= [http://www.historic-cornwall.org.uk] |publisher=Cornwall County Council] A similar site was recorded by Borlase but its location has been lost.

The site today is a confused mix of original and reconstructions introduced by Borlase.

In 1999 there was some controversy regarding this site and others under the care of the English Heritage organisation. Members of a pressure group, the Revived Cornish Stannary Parliament, removed several signs bearing the English Heritage name.
