Round cairn 190m east of Doe Tor summit is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn comprises a mound of stones constructed as a funerary structure, typical of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period when such monuments were widely erected across the moorland landscape. Its precise location east of Doe Tor's summit places it within a zone of significant prehistoric activity on Dartmoor, where concentrations of similar cairns reflect intensive use of the uplands during the second millennium before Christ. The monument survives as a physical reminder of Bronze Age burial practices and the long-established human occupation of Dartmoor's high ground.
