A ring cairn 490m north east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a circular arrangement of stones forming a cairn with a hollow or ring-like structure characteristic of ring cairns, which were constructed during the Bronze Age as burial or ceremonial monuments. Ring cairns of this type typically date to the second millennium BCE and represent a distinct form of funerary architecture found across upland areas of south-west England.
