An even older historical landmark is still present in Barry. This is the Westward Corner Round Barrow. This barrow, or tumulus, can be dated to the Bronze Age C 2300-800AD.

This barrow has only had limited excavations, but similar barrows in the area have revealed they were used for cremation burials.

This barrow is well preserved and is at the far end of Marine Drive.
