Twelve cairns, a lynchet and a boundary bank

This scheduled monument preserves a Bronze Age cairnfield on the open moor south-west of Raddick Hill. Twelve cairns survive here, likely burial or ceremonial markers typical of Dartmoor's prehistoric landscape. The site also features a lynchet, a deliberate terrace in the slope created by repeated ploughing or stock movement, and a boundary bank that would have defined ownership or enclosed land for grazing.

These elements together tell a story of long-term land use and management, suggesting the site saw both burial practice and sustained agricultural activity over generations. Walking across this moorland terrain, you encounter both the monumental and the everyday traces of how Bronze Age and later communities shaped Dartmoor.
