Round cairn 160m north east of Bosistow Island is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall. The cairn survives as a substantial earthwork comprising a mounded accumulation of stones, characteristic of funerary structures dating to the second millennium BC. Such monuments typically served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and functioned as territorial markers within the Bronze Age landscape.
