Internal Links:    
External Links:            Two kerbed platform cairns are situated on the north side of Bonfire Carn on the island of Bryher.
They are very difficult to identify on the ground, and even more difficult to photograph to show any features. Both are incorporated into natural features of the landscape, so which rocks are put in place by man and which are natural is hard to distinguish.
Nearby, there is an entrance grave, Works Carn, to the southwest, and two other kerbed cairns to the east on Samson Hill.
