Rillaton N Cairn

Cairn(s)

Fieldnotes

Visited 07.06.23

Rillaton N Cairn is located c. 40 yards NNW of Rillaton Barrow on Craddock Moor, c. 0.5 mile N of Minions in Cornwall.

The cairn is preserved as a flat grassy platform delineated by a sub-circular grass bank measuring c. 25 feet in diameter and up to 1 foot high. Rillaton N Cairn is easily missed due to its low stature and the prominence of its illustrious neighbour, Rillaton Barrow. Nevertheless, the location of Rillaton N Cairn surely increases its importance in the landscape.

Rillaton N Cairn is shown on OS Mapping but doesn't have an Historic England listing.
