The Group of four round barrows east of Bottaborough is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall. These earthwork mounds represent funerary structures typical of the early second millennium BCE, when such barrows served as communal or individual burial places for local populations. The four barrows survive as discrete earthwork features, though the site's condition and precise dimensions would require reference to detailed archaeological survey records. Such groupings of round barrows are characteristic of Bronze Age settlement and land use patterns across the Cornish landscape, indicating sustained occupation and social organisation during this period.
