This embanked platform cairn is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located approximately one kilometre north-north-east of Trewalla Farm in Cornwall. The structure comprises a central internal mound surrounded by a peripheral berm and embanking, a configuration that suggests careful construction and spatial organisation typical of later prehistoric funerary practice. The monument's specific architectural arrangement, with its defined platform and surrounding earthwork elements, indicates a substantial investment of labour and reflects the ritual significance attached to the burial site during its period of use. The cairn survives as a scheduled ancient monument and represents an important example of the diverse barrow forms found across the Cornish landscape.
