Prehistoric round cairn on Caradon Hill, 310m west of Heather House is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the upland plateau of Caradon Hill in Cornwall. The cairn consists of a circular mound constructed from stone rubble, a characteristic funerary structure of the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically contained inhumation burials, sometimes accompanied by grave goods, and formed part of the extensive ceremonial landscape that characterised Bronze Age settlement and religious practice in upland Cornwall. The site's elevated position on Caradon Hill reflects the Bronze Age preference for constructing burial cairns on prominent locations within the landscape.
