Prehistoric kerbed boulder 140m SW of the Goldiggings Quarry is a Neolithic or Bronze Age monumental stone structure located in Cornwall, England. The monument consists of a substantial boulder surrounded by a kerb of smaller stones, a characteristic form of prehistoric burial or ceremonial marker found across the Southwest Peninsula. Such kerbed boulders typically date to the period between 4000 and 1500 BCE, though precise dating for individual examples remains uncertain without excavation. The site represents an important element of Cornwall's prehistoric landscape and its survival contributes to understanding the distribution and character of early monumental constructions in the region.
