Long cairn 350m east of White Tor summit is a Neolithic burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a long mound constructed from stone, characteristic of the early Neolithic period, typically dated to around 4000–3000 BCE. Such long cairns served as communal burial places and represent some of the earliest monumental architecture in Britain, reflecting the social and ritual practices of early farming communities. The monument's position on the moorland landscape, together with its structural form, provides evidence of Neolithic settlement and land use patterns on Dartmoor.
