Round cairn 170m north of the Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on Cox Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial deposit, typical of Bronze Age mortuary practices in the upland regions of south-west England during the second millennium BCE. Its position on Cox Tor, within the broader landscape of Dartmoor's concentrated Bronze Age monument complex, indicates the ceremonial and territorial significance of this area in prehistory. The monument survives as a landscape feature of archaeological importance for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary behaviour on Dartmoor.
