Overview

History & significance

Round cairn 645m ENE of Trewortha Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The structure consists of a circular mound of stones typical of burial cairns constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such monuments were erected across the south-western peninsula as repositories for the dead and markers of territorial significance. The cairn's survival into the modern period, despite the considerable disturbance many Cornish Bronze Age monuments have experienced, contributes to understanding settlement patterns and ritual practices of prehistoric Cornwall. Its designation as a listed monument reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of Bronze Age burial custom and social organisation in the region.
