Round cairn 38m NE of OS triangulation pillar on Manstone Rock is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Shropshire. The site consists of a cairn, a mound constructed from stone rather than earth, which represents a funerary tradition characteristic of the Bronze Age period. As a round cairn, it would have served as a durable marker and container for cremated or inhumed remains, reflecting the ritual practices of Bronze Age communities in the region.
