Overview

History & significance

Two bowl barrows and one platform barrow between 600m and 830m south east of Trudnoe Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Cornwall. The site comprises three distinct barrow structures of differing morphologies, distributed across the landscape at intervals between 600 and 830 metres south-east of Trudnoe Farm. Bowl barrows, the predominant form within this group, are characteristic Bronze Age burial monuments consisting of earthen mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains, whilst the platform barrow represents a variant form of contemporary funerary architecture. The dispersed arrangement of these monuments reflects patterns of burial practice during the Bronze Age, when barrow cemeteries were established across the Cornish uplands and moorland areas.
