Round cairn 340m north of Hare Tor is a Bronze Age burial mound located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of a circular heap of stones characteristic of cairn construction during the second millennium BC, representing a significant form of funerary practice in prehistoric Devon. Such cairns typically contained cremated or inhumed remains and often formed part of wider cemetery landscapes scattered across the moorland. This example contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement and ceremonial practices on Dartmoor, where cairn fields remain a distinctive feature of the upland landscape.
