Kerbed cairn on Alex Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall, England. The cairn consists of a mound of stones surrounded by a defined kerb of larger stones, a construction method typical of the Bronze Age funerary tradition in southwest England. Such kerbed cairns served as communal or individual burial structures and are commonly found across the Cornish landscape, marking important ritual and commemorative sites from the second millennium BC. The monument's survival into the present day, despite centuries of agricultural and natural disturbance, testifies to the robustness of its stone construction.
