Round cairn with double orthostatic kerb and cist 497m SE of Trewortha Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall. The cairn is constructed with a distinctive double orthostatic kerb, a design feature characteristic of Cornish Bronze Age funerary architecture, and contains a stone cist for the interment of human remains. This type of monument represents the burial practices of the early metal-working communities of southwestern Britain during the Bronze Age period. The survival of the kerb structure and internal cist contributes to the archaeological understanding of mortuary customs and monument construction techniques in prehistoric Cornwall.
