Cairn on northern Harford Moor is a Bronze Age burial mound located on Harford Moor in Devon. The monument survives as a cairn, a characteristic form of funerary monument constructed from stone rather than earth, typical of upland Bronze Age burial practices in south-west England. Such cairns frequently contained cremated or inhumed remains and sometimes secondary burials accumulated over time. The site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of prehistoric settlement and mortuary practice on Dartmoor's marginal moorland.
