Ring cairn and rectangular building earthwork 940m west of Widgery Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a ring cairn, a circular arrangement of stones typical of Bronze Age burial practice, accompanied by the earthwork remains of a rectangular building structure of the same period. These monuments reflect the settlement and burial practices of upland communities during the Bronze Age, when Dartmoor was more extensively inhabited than in later periods. The combination of funerary and domestic structures at this location provides evidence of the relationship between living spaces and burial sites in Bronze Age moorland use.
