'''''Barrow Hill''''' is a [[Point and Click Game|horror adventure game]] created in 2006 by independent developers Matt Clark & Shadow Tor Studios.
 
The game is set in the site of Barrow Hill, which is based on real geographical locations in Cornwall, England. Forced to spend a sinister night there, you will investigate what is happening to the local people and why an archeologicalarchaeological dig, led by professor Conrad Morse, has created so much unrest and hostility among the local community. During your exploration you will discover the local legends and superstitions, while using modern electronic devices like [[PD As]]PDAs, GPS and metal detectors to unfold the mystery.
