Round cairn on Standon Hill

Today it forms part of the landscape that shaped Dartmoor's identity. For walkers crossing the moor, it offers a tangible link to the Bronze Age past and marks a point on the high ground where generations have passed through or settled. The site is scheduled as an ancient monument, protected for its historical and archaeological importance.
