Legis Tor is a complex prehistoric and post-medieval monument located on Dartmoor in Devon, comprising three round cairns of Bronze Age date alongside evidence of later rabbit warren management. The three cairns represent funerary or ceremonial structures typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns on the high moor, constructed from stone and positioned to exploit the prominent landscape of the tor. The post-medieval rabbit warren, attested by earthwork features, indicates the site's continued use and economic importance during the early modern period, when such warrens were maintained as valuable resources for meat and fur production. Together, these features demonstrate the long-term human occupation and exploitation of this upland location across more than three millennia of settlement history.
