Round cairn near Great Trowlesworthy Tor

This round cairn sits on Lee Moor, one of many burial monuments scattered across Dartmoor's high ground. Built during the Bronze Age, it would have marked the grave of someone of status within their community. The cairn is a simple mound of stones, typical of the period, and has survived millennia of weather and moorland change.

Today it forms part of the wider archaeological story visible across Dartmoor, where Bronze Age activity is written into the landscape through cairns, stone circles and settlements. The site lies open on the moor near Great Trowlesworthy Tor, in country that has changed little since its construction. Walking here connects you directly to Dartmoor's deep past.
