The westernmost of four cairns forming part of the cairnfield on the western slope of White Hill
Devon
This cairn forms part of a group of four that marks a Bronze Age burial or ceremonial site on the western slope of White Hill. Such cairnfields are characteristic of Dartmoor's upland landscape, where Bronze Age communities left their mark across the open moorland. The stones remain where they were raised, part of the fabric of the high moor.
Today the site offers quiet evidence of ancient settlement patterns. Walking the slopes around White Hill, visitors encounter these cairns as part of the broader archaeology of Dartmoor, where Bronze Age monuments are scattered across the landscape as reminders of the people who lived and died here thousands of years ago.
