One of a group of three cairns on Ringmoor Down

Ringmoor Down holds a group of three cairns, likely dating to the Bronze Age. These stone mounds were raised over burials and stand as evidence of how the moor was used and settled thousands of years ago. The site sits within the wider landscape of ceremonial and domestic monuments that scatter across Dartmoor's high ground.

Today the cairns are visible features on the open moorland, part of the texture of Ringmoor Down itself. Walking here, you move through the same Bronze Age world that their builders knew: exposed, wind-swept, with views across the moor and down into the river valleys. The site is a scheduled monument, protected for its archaeological significance.
