Round cairn 312m north-west of Showery Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall, England. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a burial marker, typical of Bronze Age mortuary practices on the moorland landscapes of south-west England. Such cairns frequently contained cremated or inhumed remains and often marked territories or family burial grounds within the broader settlement pattern of Bronze Age communities. The monument's survival as an upstanding structure reflects the durability of stone construction and the relative preservation afforded by moorland locations, though its original form and any contained deposits may have been subject to damage or disturbance over subsequent millennia.
