Round cairn 480m south west of Higher White Tor 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, characteristic of the Bronze Age period when such monuments were erected across upland regions of south-western England. As a scheduled ancient monument, it forms part of the substantial archaeological landscape of Dartmoor, where Bronze Age cairns represent an important category of evidence for prehistoric settlement and burial practice. The site's location on the moorland plateau reflects the Bronze Age use of Dartmoor's higher ground, and it contributes to the broader understanding of funerary monuments and ritual practices during the second millennium before the present era.
