Cairn on northern Harford Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Harford Moor in Devon. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial structure, typical of Bronze Age mortuary practices on the upland moorlands of south-western England. Such monuments, commonly found across Dartmoor and surrounding moorland areas, represent the funerary traditions of communities dating to the second millennium BC. The site's location on open moorland, away from valley settlements, reflects the established Bronze Age practice of positioning burial cairns in prominent upland positions.
