Round cairn 190m east of Doe Tor summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a burial structure, typical of the type erected across south-western England during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BC. Such monuments commonly contained cremated remains and occasionally inhumed burials, though the specific contents of this particular cairn are not documented in readily accessible records. The site's position on the moorland landscape reflects the Bronze Age practice of constructing burial cairns in prominent, visible locations within the wider ritual and settlement geography of Dartmoor.
