Round cairn with double orthostatic kerb and cist 497m SE of Trewortha Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall. The cairn is defined by a distinctive double kerb of orthostatic stones, which would have served both to retain the mound material and to mark the ceremonial boundary of the burial site. At its centre lies a cist, a stone-built burial chamber typical of prehistoric funerary practice in south-western Britain. The double kerb construction indicates careful architectural planning and suggests this was a monument of some significance within its local landscape during the prehistoric period.
