Cairn on Hurston Ridge 1km north west of Warren House Inn is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a mound of stone, characteristic of funerary structures constructed during the Bronze Age when such monuments served as markers for interred remains and were often focal points for ritual activity. Its location on the open moorland of Hurston Ridge reflects the Bronze Age preference for positioning burial cairns in elevated, prominent positions across the Dartmoor landscape. The monument contributes to the significant concentration of prehistoric archaeology on Dartmoor, where numerous cairns, barrows, and associated ritual landscapes survive from the Bronze Age period.
