Abstract:		 The report describes work undertaken in 2008 to repair the extremely badly eroded barrow known as Condolden Barrow, which stands on a hill above Tintagel. The barrow, which has a long history of erosion, was repaired by teams of volunteers from the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers in April 2008, under the supervision of archaeologists from Historic Environment Projects. Preliminary recording indicated that erosion was affecting about one third of the barrow's surface. In the eroded areas, the ground had been lowered by as much as 0.4 metres; the erosion had cut through the turf and topsoil layers containing some large and small stones, and was eating into an underlying light yellow-brown clay layer. The barrow had originally been surrounded by a ditch - now covered by material eroded and spread from the mound; a wide depression still visible around the mound is probably not an original feature. Fist-sized quartz and stones discovered in the ditch silts when post-holes were dug for a new fence suggested that the barrow may originally have been covered by an outer stony layer.
