A ring cairn 490m north east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a circular stone cairn with a distinctive central depression or hollow, characteristic of ring cairn monuments from the second millennium BCE. Such monuments typically served as communal or individual burial structures and often formed part of larger ceremonial landscapes on the moorland. The ring cairn is part of the concentrated distribution of Bronze Age barrows and cairns found across this sector of Dartmoor, reflecting intensive use of the upland during the Bronze Age period.
