Round cairn with central cist on Bearah Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall, comprising a circular mound of stones with a stone-built burial chamber, or cist, at its centre. The cairn represents a burial practice characteristic of the Bronze Age, when such monuments were constructed as communal or individual sepulchral structures across the British landscape. The central cist would have contained human remains and grave goods, reflecting the burial customs and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in the southwest of England. This monument survives as an important archaeological record of prehistoric funerary practice and settlement patterns in the Cornish uplands.
