Cairn in Cornwall

From Pastscape:

"Kerbed cairn on a slight southern slope towards the bottom of a narrow re-entrant valley in open moorland. The kerb is of contiguous small stones, now only visible around the south west half of the cairn. A 1 metres wide opening is visible in the south side. The post excavation restoration of the cairn resulted in a central heap."
