Round cairn 480m SSW of Caradon Hill summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the moorland of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a burial monument, typical of the Bronze Age period when such structures were raised across the upland regions of south-west England. The site forms part of the wider Bronze Age landscape of Caradon Hill, an area rich in prehistoric remains including barrows and ritual monuments that attest to intensive use of these heights during the second millennium before Christ. As a scheduled monument, the cairn preserves important evidence of Bronze Age funerary practice and the settlement patterns of prehistoric communities in Cornwall.
