Porthgwarra Ullies is a Bronze Age cairn located in the parish of St Levan, near Porthgwarra in west Cornwall. The monument consists of a stone cairn, a burial structure typical of the Bronze Age period when such mounds were constructed across the Cornish landscape to mark the graves of significant individuals or family groups. The site represents an important element of the Bronze Age funerary landscape of the far west of Cornwall, an area rich in prehistoric monuments. Such cairns often contained cremated or inhumed remains and occasionally grave goods, though the specific condition and contents of this particular example would require archaeological assessment to determine.
