Two barrows and circular enclosure on Pordenack Point is a Bronze Age ritual and funerary monument complex located on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. The site comprises two burial mounds and an associated circular earthwork enclosure, representing typical components of Bronze Age ceremonial landscapes in south-west England. The barrows belong to the period broadly dated between 2000 and 1000 BC, when such monuments served as focal points for burial practices and community gatherings. The circular enclosure demonstrates the integration of these funerary features within a defined ritual space, characteristic of Bronze Age settlement and territorial organisation in coastal Cornwall.
