NL69NW 109 6244 9581

24: Tresivick (VN80)
Circular earth and stone mound, 7.2m dia, standing about 1m high. There are odd stone blocks on the circumference which may be the remains of a kerb. The mound appears to have been disturbed on the east side, and it is possible that its kerb has been robbed for wall-building. Given the concentration of kerbed cairns in this area (about 20 examples within 200m) this seems most likely to be a further example.
