Ring cairn 296m south east of Riddon Brake is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a cairn structure characteristic of the later Bronze Age period, positioned within the landscape of south-western England where such burial monuments are distributed across moorland and upland terrain. Ring cairns of this type typically feature a circular stone mound with a central or peripheral ring of stones, reflecting the burial practices and ceremonial conventions of Bronze Age communities. The monument survives as an archaeological record of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity in the Devon landscape, although its current condition and precise dimensions would require site-specific survey documentation for full characterisation.
