Two round barrows on Goonhilly Downs 600 yards north-east of Trenoon is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a pair of Bronze Age burial mounds situated on the exposed moorland of Goonhilly Downs in west Cornwall. The barrows represent funerary monuments typical of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to cover cremated or inhumed remains and served as territorial or family markers across the landscape. Both mounds remain visible as earthworks on the downs, contributing to the archaeological significance of this area, which contains numerous Bronze Age monuments reflecting intensive settlement and ritual use during the second millennium before the Common Era. The survival of these barrows alongside contemporary monuments on Goonhilly Downs provides important evidence for Bronze Age burial practices and land use patterns in prehistoric Cornwall.
