Round 200m north east of Burncoose is a prehistoric ritual or domestic monument situated in Cornwall. The structure takes the form of a circular earthwork, characteristic of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ceremonial sites found across the Cornish landscape. Such rounds typically served as focal points for community activity during the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, though their precise functions—whether primarily defensive, domestic, or ceremonial—remain subjects of archaeological interpretation. The monument's survival as an earthwork feature demonstrates the importance of such sites within the archaeological record of south-west England.
