Banked cairn 175m SW of Caradon Hill summit is a prehistoric burial monument located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and consists of a mound of stones surrounded by a substantial bank, a form characteristic of funerary monuments constructed during the second millennium BCE. Such monuments typically served as communal or individual burial sites and represent significant investment of labour by local communities. The survival of its earthwork structure provides archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial practices on the moorland landscape of Cornwall.
