Round cairn 240m north of Ger Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed during the second millennium BCE, typical of the burial practices prevalent across the upland regions of southwest England during this period. Such monuments served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and often formed part of the wider ceremonial landscape of Bronze Age communities utilising the moorland. The precise dimensions and state of preservation of this particular cairn reflect the long history of Dartmoor's archaeological record and its significance for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns in Devon.
