Cairnfield and associated earthworks on the north eastern slope of White Hill

This Bronze Age cairnfield sits on the north eastern slope of White Hill, part of the scattered monuments that make up Dartmoor's rich archaeological landscape. The site comprises a cluster of cairns and associated earthworks, the remains of a settlement or ceremonial area built during the Bronze Age when this part of the moor was actively used and maintained by upland communities.

Today the site appears as a pattern of low stone mounds and banks across the moorland slope. It offers insight into how people organised their use of Dartmoor's high ground thousands of years ago. The location itself, on open moorland with views across the surrounding country, helps you understand why this spot mattered to Bronze Age people and what the landscape would have looked like to them.
