Round cairn 100m south of Down Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones, a characteristic form of burial structure dating to the second millennium BCE. Such monuments served as territorial markers and repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of Bronze Age communities, reflecting the ritual and social practices of upland settlement during this period. The site's location on Dartmoor places it within a landscape rich in prehistoric archaeology, where numerous contemporary cairns and associated features demonstrate sustained occupation and ceremonial activity across the moorland during the Bronze Age.
