Roundy Park prehistoric enclosure and cairn with cist, 560m north east of Archerton
Devon
Roundy Park is a prehistoric enclosure and cairn that sits on open moorland northeast of Archerton. The site likely dates to the Bronze Age, when Dartmoor was more densely settled than it is today. The cairn contains a cist, a stone-lined burial chamber that would have held human remains and grave goods.
Today, the site appears as earthwork features and stone scattered across the moor. It forms part of the wider pattern of Bronze Age settlement visible across Dartmoor, where communities built enclosures for shelter and ritual monuments to mark the dead. The location offers insight into how people lived and died on this high ground thousands of years ago.
