Cairn south-west of Gutter Tor is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a mound of stones that would have originally been more substantial, typical of the funerary monuments constructed during the prehistoric period on the moorland. Its exact dating and original form remain characteristic of the numerous cairns scattered across Dartmoor, which served as communal or individual burial sites for the prehistoric communities inhabiting the region. The monument's survival, albeit in diminished form, contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and ritual practice on Dartmoor.
