This round barrow, located 320m north of Carne Farm, is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1019745 and recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 429571. Pastscape tells us this Bronze Age barrow is "one of the largest in England and traditionally the burial place of Gerennius (or Gerent) King of Cornwall circa 590 AD. It was excavated in 1855 when it measured 28ft high by 350ft circumferance, and originally must have been larger as part of the north side seems to have been removed".
The Journal of Antiquities also includes an entry for the Carne Beacon, Veryan, Cornwall, which includes directions for finding the site, together with a photograph, a description, background information about King Gerrenius (Geraint), plus a list of reference sources for more information.
