Two cairns

This scheduled monument comprises two cairns that form part of a larger cairnfield scattered across the north eastern slope of White Hill. These stone mounds are likely Bronze Age in date, built as burial monuments or ceremonial markers during the period when Dartmoor's uplands were actively used and settled. The cairnfield as a whole represents a concentrated area of prehistoric activity, with multiple cairns dotted across the moorland.

Today the two cairns remain visible as low stone heaps on the open moor, weathered but substantial. They sit within the wider landscape of Dartmoor's Bronze Age heritage, part of the dense scatter of burial cairns, settlements and ritual sites that characterise the high moor. Walking here offers a sense of Dartmoor's deep past and the choices made by ancient communities about where to bury their dead and mark the land.

Historic England listed designation: Two cairns forming the north eastern edge of a cairnfield on the north eastern slope of White Hill
