Three round cairns 960m and 920m north east of Outer Huccaby Ring
Devon
These two round cairns sit on the open moorland northeast of Outer Huccaby Ring, likely dating to the Bronze Age. They are among hundreds of such monuments scattered across Dartmoor, marking burial places or territorial markers from a landscape that was actively settled and used thousands of years ago. The cairns themselves are substantial stone structures, weathered and dignified on the high ground.
Visiting them means walking out onto the moor itself, where the sense of continuity is strong. You stand where Bronze Age people stood, on the same slopes, under the same vast sky. The monuments are scheduled for protection, recognising their archaeological and historical importance to understanding how Dartmoor's inhabitants lived and viewed their world.
