Round cairn 170m north of the Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on Cox Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the high moorland of Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn takes the form of a circular mound of stones typical of Bronze Age funerary practice, constructed as a visible marker and burial vessel for cremated or inhumed remains. Its position on Cox Tor, one of the prominent peaks of the moor, reflects the Bronze Age practice of siting such monuments on elevated locations within the landscape. The site remains an important archaeological record of Dartmoor's substantial population and funerary traditions during the Bronze Age period.
