Ring cairn 975m south of Sourton Tors is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a circular arrangement of stones forming a ring cairn, a type of funerary structure characteristic of the Bronze Age period in southwestern England. Ring cairns of this type typically date from the second millennium BC and served as communal or family burial places, often containing cremated remains.
