This monument is a Bronze Age funerary complex comprising five prehistoric round cairns and an associated ring cairn, situated on moorland approximately 920 metres north-north-east of Fernacre Farm in Cornwall. The site belongs to the later prehistoric period and represents a significant concentration of burial architecture typical of Bronze Age communities in south-western Britain. The round cairns are constructed from stones piled into mounds, whilst the ring cairn consists of a circular bank or kerb of stones defining a central burial space. As a group, these monuments demonstrate the ceremonial and burial practices of Bronze Age populations and contribute to understanding settlement patterns and funerary behaviour in Cornish prehistory.
