The round cairn located 482 metres south-east of Trewortha Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument constructed with an orthostatic kerb and internal cist. The cairn comprises a circular mound of stones with upright slabs forming its perimeter, a characteristic arrangement of the Bronze Age burial tradition in Cornwall. The central cist would have contained human remains, reflecting the burial practices common to Bronze Age communities in south-west England. This monument represents the typical mortuary architecture of the second millennium BCE and survives as evidence of the funerary customs and territorial organisation of Bronze Age Cornish societies.
