Four Burrows, Cornwall

The Four Burrows is a group of four Bronze Age bowl barrows which straddle the parish boundary between Kenwyn and Perranzabuloe in Cornwall. The four barrows vary between 50ft and 80ft in diameter, and between 8ft and 13ft high. The Bronze Age date of the group is confirmed by the discovery in one of the barrows of a megalithic chambered structure containing an inurned cremation. The monument is within the council area of Cornwall.
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1016054.
