Four round barrows 400m south east of Little Trewinnick Farm is a Bronze Age cemetery comprising four burial mounds located in Cornwall. The barrows represent typical funerary monuments of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or small family groups. The site's survival demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age ritual landscapes across the Cornish countryside, where numerous such burial grounds continue to define the archaeological character of the region. These monuments form part of the broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement and ceremonial activity that characterises the upland areas of south-west England.
