Cairn 410m south-west of White Tor summit is a prehistoric burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents one of numerous funerary structures distributed across the moorland plateau. The monument survives as a stone cairn, a characteristically substantial heap of stones marking a burial or ceremonial deposit typical of Bronze Age practice in the region. Such cairns on Dartmoor form part of a wider landscape of ritual and mortuary monuments that reflect the sustained occupation and territorial organisation of the moor during the second millennium before the common era.
