A ring cairn 490m north east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor
Devon
This ring cairn sits on the open moorland north east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor, part of Dartmoor's rich Bronze Age heritage. Ring cairns are circular monuments built during the Bronze Age, typically used for ritual or burial purposes. The site forms part of a wider landscape of prehistoric activity across this stretch of high moorland.
Today the cairn remains as an earthwork feature on the moor, visible in the rolling terrain around it. The location offers views across Dartmoor and rewards walkers exploring the archaeology of the high ground. Like many Bronze Age monuments on the moor, it sits within a landscape largely unchanged since its construction, making it a tangible link to ancient Dartmoor.
