The prehistoric long barrow and four round barrows 580m and 750m south west of Mitchell Farm is a Bronze Age and Neolithic funerary monument complex located in Cornwall. The long barrow represents settlement period burial practice, whilst the associated round barrows indicate subsequent Bronze Age usage of the landscape, reflecting changing ritual and commemorative practices across several centuries. The monuments survive as earthwork features within the Cornish upland terrain, forming part of the wider distribution of barrow cemeteries characteristic of south western Britain's prehistoric funerary archaeology. The site demonstrates the long-term significance of particular localities in the prehistoric landscape, with successive generations returning to established burial grounds over an extended chronological span.
