Rillaton Barrow

About

The Rillaton Barrow (Cornish: Krug Reslegh) is a Bronze Age round barrow in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The site is on the eastern flank of Bodmin Moor in the parish of Linkinhorne about four miles (6 km) north of Liskeard. Rillaton Barrow was excavated in 1837 and found to contain a centrally-placed inhumation beneath the 34-metre wide barrow.

The burial had been placed in a stone cist measuring 2 meters by almost 1 meter. Human remains were found along with grave goods including the Rillaton Gold Cup, a bronze dagger, beads, pottery, glass and other items.
