Three Boys

Three Boys is a Bronze Age archaeological site comprising burial cairns scattered across Dartmoor's open moorland. These Bronze Age monuments stand as silent witnesses to prehistoric settlement patterns on the moor, their stacked stones enduring through millennia of exposure to Dartmoor's harsh weather and changing land use.

The site offers a tangible connection to the people who inhabited this high moorland during the Bronze Age, when Dartmoor was more densely populated than it is today. Walking out to these cairns rewards you with both archaeological insight and sweeping moorland views, a reminder that Dartmoor's stark beauty has captivated human communities for over 3,000 years.
