Round cairn 885m ENE of Sparretts Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall. The cairn survives as a substantial earthwork mound constructed from stone, typical of funerary practices during the Bronze Age period when such monuments served as burial places for individuals of status within their communities. Its location in the landscape and structural form are consistent with the dispersed pattern of round cairns found across Cornwall's moorland regions, which represent an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement and burial custom. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument due to its archaeological significance and potential to yield information about Bronze Age society and mortuary practices.
