Round cairn 650m north-east of Sparretts Farm is a prehistoric burial monument located in Cornwall. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of funerary architecture typical of that period, when such stone-built mounds served as repositories for the deceased and their grave goods. The monument survives as a circular mound constructed from stone, consistent with cairn construction practices of Bronze Age communities in south-western Britain. Such monuments are significant for understanding burial practices, social organisation, and land use during the Bronze Age in Cornwall.
