One of two cairns north-east of Harford Moor Gate is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn forms part of a pair of upland burial structures characteristic of the Bronze Age occupation and land use patterns visible across the moorland landscape. Such cairns typically comprise stone heaps constructed over cremation burials or inhumations, representing funerary practices of the second and early first millennia before the present era. The monument's survival on the exposed moorland preserves evidence of prehistoric funerary ritual and settlement organisation in this region.
