Cairn to the west of Tristis Rock, Burford Down is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Burford Down in Devon. The site consists of a cairn, a mound constructed from stones that served as a funerary marker and depositional feature characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practices in south-western England. Such cairns typically date to the second millennium BCE and represent important evidence for prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual practices across Dartmoor and the surrounding upland regions. The monument's survival on the open moorland preserves archaeological and topographical information relevant to understanding Bronze Age use of the landscape in this area.
