Cairn south-west of Lower Hartor Tor is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of a stone cairn, a characteristic form of funerary monument dating to the second millennium before the present era, when such structures served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains. Its location within the dense landscape of Dartmoor's prehistoric monuments reflects the intensive use of the moor as a burial ground during the Bronze Age, when cairn construction was a predominant funerary practice across south-western Britain. The site remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns on Dartmoor.
