A platform barrow, a saucer barrow and a disc barrow 470m ENE of St Breock Beacon is a Bronze Age ceremonial and burial monument complex located on the high moorland of central Cornwall. The site comprises three distinct barrow types representing different constructional traditions of the Bronze Age period. Platform barrows, saucer barrows and disc barrows are all characteristic funerary monuments of the Bronze Age, typically constructed to cover cremated or inhumed burials and associated grave goods. This grouping of three barrows in close proximity reflects patterns of Bronze Age burial practice on the Cornish uplands, where such monuments formed significant landscape features and markers of territorial or ancestral significance.
