Wittaburrow Cairn

Wittaburrow Cairn is a Bronze Age burial monument that rises from the exposed granite landscape of Dartmoor. Like many of the cairns scattered across the moor, it represents the enduring presence of people who lived here over 4,000 years ago, choosing these high, windswept hills as places to honour their dead.

Walking to the cairn rewards you with views across open moorland and a tangible connection to Dartmoor's deep past. The site requires no facility or infrastructure—just the moor as it has been for centuries. It's a quiet place that speaks to the relationship between ancient communities and this landscape.
