| dbo:abstract | Ballowall Barrow (Cornish: Krug Karrekloos) is a prehistoric funerary cairn (chambered tomb) which Ashbee (1982) and Hencken (1902–81) state contains several phases of use from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. It is situated on the cliff top at Ballowall Common, near St Just in Cornwall, England, UK. It is also known as Carn Gluze Barrow. It was first excavated in 1878 by William Copeland Borlase, when it was discovered under mining debris. A report by Sharpe (1999) states that there are several discrepancies in the accounts of the excavation work, some of the finds were lost and interpretation of the site is difficult. Reconstruction work which was done after the excavation to make the inside more accessible has further complicated the site. The site today is a confused mix of original and reconstructions introduced by Borlase. The finds from excavations are in stored in museums at Truro, Cambridge and the British Museum The barrow is 72 feet (22 m) in diameter. The Cornwall and Scilly Historic Environment Record describes it as a central domed structure, containing cists and with a pit beneath, surrounded by an outer cairn also containing cists. An entrance grave is located in the external side of the outer cairn. The construction of the site is unique in consisting of a combination of Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary rituals. A similar site was recorded by Borlase but its location has been lost. The site is a protected Scheduled monument (ref. number 15410). It was included in the Schedule on 10/8/1923 and the scheduling was updated on 22/2/1996. The site is in the guardianship of English Heritage, and is managed by the National Trust. (en) Carn Gluze (oder Gloose – bekannter als Ballowall Barrow) ist ein großer Cairn an der Küste von Cornwall in Großbritannien mit Blick auf die Scilly-Inseln. Der bereits 1870 von William Copeland Borlase (1848–1899) ausgegrabene Komplex liegt südlich des Cape Cornwall, bei St. Just, am South West Coast Path und ist auf den Britischen Inseln einmalig. Im Zentrum besteht die Anlage aus einer großen Kammer von etwa 11,3 m Durchmesser, die aus Trockenmauerwerk gebildet wird und von einem Kraggewölbe bedeckt war. Neben mehreren unterhalb der Plattform eingefügten Steinkisten wurde an deren Außenkante ein Eingangsgrab eingebaut. Die Kammer enthielt eine in den Fels geschnittene T-förmige Grube, die als symbolischer Eintritt in die Unterwelt angesehen wird. * Carn Gluze * * * * Carn Gluze Später wurde das Denkmal umgebaut. Eine runde Plattform von etwa 25 m Durchmesser wurde um die Kammer errichtet. Sie begrub den unteren Teil der Kammer, so dass nur das Dach herausragte. Ein Passage tomb wurde im Südwesten am äußeren Rand errichtet und mehrere Steinkisten befinden sich unterhalb der Plattform. Das heutige Erscheinungsbild des Cairns entstand durch den Einsatz eines Baggers, der einen Graben rund um die zentrale Kammer und einen Gang aushob. Die Anlage stammt vom Übergang der Stein- auf die Bronzezeit. (de) |
