This round barrow lies north of Cadworthy Wood on Dartmoor, a burial mound raised during the Bronze Age when the moor was more densely settled and exploited. The barrow is one of many such monuments scattered across Dartmoor's open moorland and woodland edges, marking places where communities interred their dead and honoured the landscape with earthworks that have endured for thousands of years.
Today the site is modest and naturalistic, easily missed among the bracken and gorse. It sits within the wider Bronze Age field system of this part of Dartmoor, and rewards those who pause to consider the deep history beneath the heather. The barrow is a scheduled monument, protected for its archaeological significance.
