Round cairn 340m ESE of Norsworthy Bridge is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn is a mounded earthwork of stones constructed during the prehistoric period as a funerary structure, typical of the barrow-building tradition prevalent across the South West during the second millennium BCE. Such monuments served as communal or individual burial places and often held pottery, metalwork, and other grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of their deceased. The site's survival as a distinct upstanding feature demonstrates the enduring archaeological value of Dartmoor's Bronze Age landscape.
