Round cairn 230m SW of Caradon Hill summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial structure, typical of the cairn-building tradition that flourished across Britain during the Bronze Age, roughly 2200 to 800 BCE. Its position on Caradon Hill, an upland area rich in prehistoric activity, reflects the Bronze Age practice of siting cairns in prominent landscape locations. The monument survives as a physical testament to burial practices and territorial expression during the later prehistoric period in south-west England.
