This ring cairn lies on open moorland about 220 metres south-southeast of Devil's Bridge, in an area rich with prehistoric monuments. Ring cairns are typically Bronze Age structures, built as platforms or ceremonial sites and often associated with burial or communal gatherings on Dartmoor. The circular stone construction would have been visible across the surrounding moor, marking a significant place in the ancient landscape.
Today the site remains as a scattered stone circle on the moor, weathered by centuries of exposure to Dartmoor's elements. It sits within a wider archaeological complex of cairns and settlements that testify to intensive Bronze Age use of these high moorlands. Visitors will find it in open country, accessible to walkers exploring the Devil's Bridge area and the network of tracks that cross the moor.
