Overview

History & significance

Cairn south-east of Nattor is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site consists of a stone cairn, a burial structure constructed from accumulated stones that would have served as a communal or individual grave marker and repository for human remains. Such cairns are characteristic of the prehistoric period in south-west England, where stone was readily available for monument construction. The cairn's exact chronology and form remain subjects for archaeological investigation, though its designation within the national heritage record reflects its significance as evidence of early burial practices and settlement patterns in Devon.
