Round cairn 1000m ESE of Joaney How Cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the Quantock Hills in Somerset. The structure consists of a circular mound of stone and earth, characteristic of burial cairns constructed during the Bronze Age period when such monuments served as repositories for cremated remains and grave goods. The cairn's position within the Quantock landscape places it within a broader distribution of Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary sites across this upland region. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in south-western England.
