What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Cairn on Thorncombe Hill, 990m north west of Halsway Post as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Neolithic chambered cairn; dates to approximately 3000–2500 BCE. It is significant as part of a broader network of prehistoric monuments in the Mendip Hills, reflecting early ceremonial and funerary practices in south-west England.
