Round cairn 480m south west of Higher White Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn takes the form of a roughly circular mound constructed from stone, typical of funerary practice during the second millennium BC when such monuments were widely erected across the moorland landscape. Its placement within the Bronze Age landscape of Dartmoor reflects the pattern of settlement and ritual activity characteristic of that period. Like many cairns on Dartmoor, it forms part of an important archaeological record of prehistoric burial practices and landscape use in south-western England.
