Bearah Common
The Long Cairn of Bearah Common is north of Henwood, near Liskeard in Cornwall in England .
The cairn overgrown with ferns, on average 1.0 m high, on the eastern edge of Bodmin Moor is about 30 meters long and at its southeastern end 15 meters wide. There appear to be a few curbs at the narrow northwestern, uphill end. At the wider end there are the remains of a considerable chamber from which several large, standing or fallen stones, about 2.0 meters or more long, have been preserved.
