The prehistoric round cairn located 865 metres north-north-east of Fernacre Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument, typical of burial practices in south-west England during the second millennium BC. The site consists of a rubble mound constructed from stone, representing a substantial commitment of labour to commemorate and inter the dead. Such cairns served as visible landmarks within the Bronze Age landscape and often contained evidence of cremation burials and associated grave goods, though specific details of this particular cairn's contents and dimensions would require reference to archaeological survey records. The monument's survival into the modern period, despite the agricultural intensification of the surrounding Cornish countryside, makes it an important surviving example of Bronze Age funerary architecture in the region.
