Ring cairn 975m south of Sourton Tors is a Bronze Age ceremonial or funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a circular or sub-circular arrangement of stones characteristic of ring cairns from the second millennium BCE, a form commonly associated with burial practices and ritual activity during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically served as markers of significant sites within the prehistoric landscape and may have functioned in conjunction with other cairn forms found across Dartmoor's upland environment. The ring cairn's survival as a recognisable earthwork demonstrates the enduring presence of Bronze Age monumental practices in the moorland topography.
