Overview

History & significance

One of two round cairns 810m south-west of Tresellern Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The cairn comprises a circular mound of stones raised over a burial or cremation deposit, typical of funerary practices in south-west Britain during the second millennium BCE. Its survival as an upstanding monument, despite the passage of nearly four thousand years, testifies to the durability of stone-built structures and the relative isolation of its moorland location. The cairn forms part of a wider Bronze Age landscape in the area, with the presence of a companion cairn nearby indicating concentrated burial activity at this locality during prehistory.
