Cairns N of Corndon Tor
Devon
These cairns lie in open moorland north of Corndon Tor, part of the dense scatter of Bronze Age monuments that cover Dartmoor's higher ground. They are likely burial cairns or ceremonial markers, built during the second millennium BC when this landscape was more actively settled and managed than it is today.
Walking here, you cross rough grass and heather with wide views across the moor. The cairns themselves are stone heaps, some clearer than others, modest but real evidence of people who lived and died on Dartmoor thousands of years ago. The site sits within a Scheduled Monument designation, protecting it as part of the moor's archaeological heritage.
