Four round barrows 480m north of Besowsa is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The site consists of four distinct earthwork mounds characteristic of prehistoric burial practice, representing a concentrated group of barrows typical of Bronze Age ceremonial landscapes. Such barrow cemeteries are significant archaeological features that reveal patterns of settlement, social organisation, and ritual practice across the later prehistoric period. The monument's survival as upstanding earthworks makes it an important record of Cornwall's Neolithic and Bronze Age heritage.
