The Prehistoric embanked avenue and eight adjacent round cairns located 750 metres east-north-east of Sparretts Farm is a Bronze Age ceremonial complex situated in Cornwall. The monument comprises a linear embanked avenue, a characteristic feature of Bronze Age ritual landscapes, flanked by earthwork banks, alongside eight round cairns positioned in proximity to the main avenue structure. The cairns represent funerary or ceremonial monuments typical of Bronze Age burial practice in south-western Britain, their distribution and relationship to the avenue suggesting a coordinated sacred landscape. This complex demonstrates the investment in monumental construction during the Bronze Age and provides evidence of the ritual and mortuary practices of prehistoric Cornish communities.
