Legis Tor is a prehistoric and post-medieval monument complex located in Devon, England. The site comprises three round cairns dating to the Bronze Age, representing funerary or ceremonial structures typical of that period, alongside evidence of a post-medieval rabbit warren which indicates later land management practices. The cairns constitute the primary archaeological interest of the monument, reflecting the ritual and burial practices of Bronze Age communities in the south-western uplands. The juxtaposition of Bronze Age and post-medieval activity demonstrates the long continuity of human use and exploitation of this moorland location.
