Cairn east of the northern end of the stone alignment south-west of Glasscombe Corner is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn forms part of a broader archaeological complex that includes an associated stone alignment, indicative of ritual or territorial significance in prehistoric Devon. The monument consists of a mound of stones accumulated over a burial or ceremonial deposit, typical of upland cairn construction during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. Its proximity to the aligned stones suggests it may have functioned within a landscape organised for ceremonial or mortuary purposes during the later prehistoric period.
