Corringdon Ball

The remains of the Corringdon Ball Tombs (also known as the Cuckoo Ball or Corringdon Ball Long Barrow ) lie west of Aish, at Buckfastleigh in Dartmoor National Park in Devon , England .

The remains on the saddle between Corringdon Ball and Brent Fore Hill are marked on the map as Long Barrow and are not far from Ball Gate's Ring Cairn .

Corringdon Ball was once one of the greatest monuments on the moor, but it was badly damaged. Several stones that formed a large chamber have almost all fallen over and broken, so that a typological classification is impossible.

There is a row of stones in the immediate vicinity .
