History
PeriodsBronze Age

Ballavarry Burial Mound is a Bronze Age burial mound in the parish of Andreas on the Isle of Man. It is located by Ballavarry farm entrance on a low hill, a short distance from Andreas village.[1] The mound is significant and survives to a height of 3m and a diameter of 15m.[2]

Although a burial urn was discovered during a 19th-century investigation of the mound, it has since been lost.[2][3]
