Round in Devichoys Wood is a Bronze Age burial mound situated approximately 540 metres south of Perran Wharf in Cornwall. The monument survives as an earthwork of considerable antiquity, representing a form of sepulchral monument characteristic of the Bronze Age period in south-west England. Such rounds, as they are known locally, functioned as burial places and often held cremated remains or inhumations, sometimes accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and practices of their time. The survival of this example within woodland context has aided its preservation as an archaeological resource documenting prehistoric mortuary practices in the Cornish landscape.
