Hangman's Barrow is a kerbed cairn located in Cornwall, England, dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of a mound of stones retained by a kerb of larger stones at its base, a characteristic form of prehistoric burial monument found throughout south-western Britain. Such cairns typically served as communal or individual burial sites and represent significant investments of labour by Bronze Age communities. The site's survival as a discrete archaeological feature contributes to the understanding of Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Cornish landscape.
