What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Two round cairns 85m east of Dutchman's Carn, Peninnis Head, St Mary's 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.
Two round cairns, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, are situated on Peninnis Head, a prominent upland area associated with prehistoric activity in the Isles of Scilly. These cairns contribute to the understanding of early burial and ceremonial practices in a landscape rich with megalithic monuments.
