Overview

History & significance

Two cairns 550m and 587m ENE of Trewalla Farm is a Bronze Age funerary and land-use monument complex located in Cornwall. The site consists of four cairns, comprising two substantial burial cairns and two smaller adjacent clearance cairns that likely resulted from the clearance of stone for agricultural purposes. The monuments are characteristic of Bronze Age settlement and funerary practices in southwestern Britain, reflecting both the ritual disposal of the dead and the pragmatic management of the landscape for farming. The survival of these structures provides evidence of prehistoric land organisation and the dense occupation of the Cornish uplands during the Bronze Age period.
