Round cairn 100m south of Down Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones, a form characteristic of funerary structures built during the Bronze Age period when such monuments served as communal or individual burial sites across the southwestern uplands. Its position on the high moorland reflects the prehistoric settlement and ritual patterns of Dartmoor during the second millennium BC. The monument survives as an archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and continues to form part of the dense concentration of prehistoric monuments that define the archaeological landscape of Dartmoor.
