Ring cairn 920m south west of Little Staple Tor is a Bronze Age ceremonial or funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a circular arrangement of stones forming a ring cairn, a monument type characteristic of the Bronze Age period in south-western England, typically dating between approximately 2200 and 700 BC. Ring cairns of this form are believed to have served ritual or burial functions within Bronze Age communities, though the specific burial practices and ceremonies associated with individual examples remain subjects of archaeological interpretation. The monument's survival on Dartmoor reflects the generally good preservation conditions for archaeological remains in upland areas of Devon, where such Bronze Age monuments are relatively numerous and form an important record of prehistoric settlement and ritual practice.
