Round Barrows in Cornwall.
A group of 3 Round Barrows on the top of Trendrine Hill in the Land's End peninsula in Cornwall.

The southernmost of the barrows is a mound 46' in diameter and 6'6" high kerbed by very large stones. At the centre of the mound are the remains of a large cist including a displaced capstone. The largest and northermost barrow is a large cairn of stones 62' across and 8'6" high now topped by an Ordnance Survey pillar. All that can be seen of the third barrow is a slight mound between the other two.
