Round cairn 460m north of Showery Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a funerary structure, typical of burial practices during the Bronze Age period, roughly between 2200 and 700 BCE. Such monuments served as territorial markers and repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of social significance within prehistoric communities. The site's survival on the exposed moorland landscape provides archaeological evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in southwestern Britain.
