Twelve Barrows is a linear barrow group situated three hundred metres east of Higher Hendra in Cornwall, England. The monument consists of a series of Bronze Age burial mounds arranged in a line, characteristic of barrow cemeteries established during the second millennium before Christ. Such linear arrangements of barrows reflect organised burial practices and territorial claims by Bronze Age communities, and the group contributes to understanding patterns of prehistoric settlement and funerary custom in Cornwall. The site remains a scheduled ancient monument, designated to protect its archaeological integrity and the remains it contains.
