Round cairn 750m ENE of Trewortha Farm is a prehistoric burial monument located in Cornwall. The site is a round cairn, representing a form of monumental burial practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period. Such cairns served as communal or individual burial structures, constructed from stone gathered from the surrounding landscape and often containing cremated or inhumed remains within a central cist or chamber. This example contributes to the significant archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practices across the Cornish peninsula, where cairn construction reflects the ritual and social importance placed upon the commemoration of the dead.
