Ring cairn 660m north west of Little Links Tor
Devon
This ring cairn stands as evidence of Bronze Age activity on Dartmoor, likely built between around 2000 and 1000 BCE. Ring cairns are circular stone structures, often ritual or ceremonial in purpose, and this example sits in the open moorland northwest of Little Links Tor. Such monuments were constructed by the communities who inhabited and worked the high moor in prehistory.
Today the site remains as stone and earthwork in the landscape, part of the dense archaeological record that makes Dartmoor nationally significant. Visiting involves walking the moor itself, where you can experience the terrain and scale that these Bronze Age people knew. The location rewards those who explore beyond the main paths and take time to read the land.
