Prehistoric clearance cairn 962m north-west of Wardbrook Farm is a Bronze Age monument located in Cornwall, England. The site comprises a cairn constructed from gathered stone, typical of the clearance cairns created during prehistoric land use when farmers removed stones from arable land and accumulated them into mounds. Such monuments are evidence of early agricultural activity and land management practices in south-west England during the Bronze Age period. The cairn's survival as an archaeological feature provides archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and the exploitation of the Cornish landscape.
