A ring cairn 700m south east of Runnage Bridge, on the southern side of Soussons Down, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. Ring cairns are circular stone structures, typically measuring between 10 and 20 metres in diameter, comprising an outer ring of stones with an open or sparse interior, and represent a distinctive monument type of the Bronze Age period. This example survives as a low stone ring visible on the moorland landscape, characteristic of the funerary and ritual sites that are widely distributed across south-western upland areas. Such monuments represent significant evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns, burial practices, and the sacred use of landscape in prehistoric Devon.
