Round cairn on Draynes Common, 950m south-west of Lamelgate Farm, is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall. The cairn survives as a roughly circular mound of stone, representing a funerary structure typical of the Bronze Age period when such monuments were constructed across south-west England as repositories for the dead and markers of territorial significance. The site's survival on Draynes Common demonstrates the continued presence of prehistoric ritual landscapes in the Cornish uplands. Like many cairns of this period, it would originally have contained central burial deposits, though its internal structures remain largely unknown without modern investigation.
