Tawna Downs round barrows is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall, England. The site comprises a group of round barrows dating to the second millennium BC, a period when such monuments served as prominent markers of elite or community burial practices across the British landscape. The barrows represent typical examples of Bronze Age funerary architecture, constructed as earthen mounds over cremated or inhumed remains. These monuments contribute to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary behaviour in south-west England, and their surviving form demonstrates the scale of ceremonial investment in burial practices during this period.
