Round cairn 740m SSW of Caradon Hill summit is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the moorland heights of the Caradon area in Cornwall. The cairn comprises a circular mound of stones built over a grave or graves, representing a funerary practice widespread across upland regions of southwest England during the later prehistoric period. The site forms part of the dispersed Bronze Age ceremonial landscape of Caradon Moor, an area rich in similar monuments that testify to sustained ritual and burial activity across many centuries. Such cairns typically date from the early to middle Bronze Age, roughly 2000 to 1000 BC, though without modern archaeological excavation precise dating remains uncertain.
