Cairn south-west of Gutter Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a cairn, a mound constructed from stone, which represents a common form of funerary architecture from the Bronze Age period when such structures served as focal points for communal burial practices. The cairn's position within the Dartmoor landscape places it within a significant concentration of prehistoric monuments dating from the second millennium BC. Such cairns typically contained cremated or inhumed remains and were often accompanied by grave goods, though the specific contents and condition of this particular monument reflect its age and the effects of post-depositional disturbance.
