A cairn and cist 380m west and a cairn and standing stone 370m south west of Bellever Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising part of a larger cairn cemetery on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of two distinct burial structures: a cairn containing a stone cist to the west, and a second cairn associated with a standing stone positioned to the south west, together forming satellite features of the principal cemetery centred on Bellever Tor. These monuments date from the Bronze Age, a period when such cairn cemeteries were the dominant burial practice across the Dartmoor uplands. The site exemplifies the dispersed burial landscape characteristic of Bronze Age Dartmoor, where multiple interred remains and grave goods were deposited within stone-built structures across the moorland terrain.
