Round cairn and shelters 812m SSW of Caradon Hill summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The site comprises a round cairn, a characteristic burial mound constructed from stone, alongside associated shelter structures that reflect Bronze Age settlement patterns in this upland region. The cairn itself represents a typical example of the numerous barrow monuments distributed across Bodmin Moor, which served as burial places for Bronze Age communities during the second millennium before the present era. The presence of shelters alongside the cairn suggests this location held significance beyond its funerary function, possibly indicating seasonal occupation or ritual activity connected to the burial monument.
