Cairns N of Corndon Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a group of cairns, mounded structures of stone typical of Bronze Age burial practice across upland regions of southwest England. Such monuments reflect the ceremonial and mortuary practices of early bronze-working communities and contribute to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual behaviour on Dartmoor. The cairns remain visible features of the moorland landscape and are protected as scheduled ancient monuments due to their archaeological significance.
