Ballowall Barrow This Bronze Age barrow was excavated (and radically altered) in 1878 by Cornish antiquarian William Borlase. The internal walls were rebuilt by him which has unfortunately affected the way it is perceived. It is however an evocative site in a stunning location.

Ill fated Cargodna shaft and Crowns Engine houses, Botallack Probably the most photographed area in the south west has a sad story attached. The square collar in the foreground is Cargodna shaft, perched halfway down the cliff side. It was here on Tuesday, Jan 10th 1893, 20 miners were drowned after, it is believed, they accidentally holed through to flooded abandoned workings of the adjacent Wheal Drea. This is the shaft they descended on that fateful morning. Because Wheal Owles and Drea were now linked, these flooded combined workings held an immense lake of water and despite local efforts to pump this out, the operation failed and their bodies still remain in this water filled under world. There is a memorial table attached to the shaft collar wall in remembrance of them.
