Round cairn 527m SSW of Caradon Hill summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Caradon Hill in Cornwall. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones accumulated over a burial deposit, a typical form of burial monument erected during the Bronze Age period, approximately 2200 to 700 BC. Such cairns served as conspicuous markers on the landscape and contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the deceased. This example forms part of the dense concentration of Bronze Age burial monuments found across the upland regions of Cornwall, testament to sustained settlement and ritual activity in the area during prehistory.
