This round cairn sits on the summit of Watern Tor, likely built during the Bronze Age as a burial monument or ceremonial marker. The stone pile remains a visible feature of the moorland landscape, testimony to peoples who used and shaped Dartmoor thousands of years ago.
From the tor, visitors find themselves among open moor with wide views across the surrounding country. The site is part of a wider scatter of Bronze Age monuments on Dartmoor, and walking here connects you to the deep history of this high plateau and the communities who lived and died here in prehistory.
