Cairn south-east of Ringmoor Cottage
Devon
This scheduled monument is a Bronze Age cairn, a burial mound built from stone that would have marked a significant place in the prehistoric landscape. Cairns like this one were constructed over many centuries across Dartmoor, often positioned on higher ground where they remain visible across the moor.
Today the cairn sits in the open moorland south-east of Ringmoor Cottage, part of a wider pattern of Bronze Age settlement and burial that shaped Dartmoor's character. A visit here rewards those exploring the moorland on foot with a tangible sense of human presence stretching back thousands of years.
