Round cairn east of Whittenknowles Rocks, 960m ENE of Gutter Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a substantial stone cairn constructed during the second millennium before the Common Era, when such funerary structures were widely built across the moorland landscape. The monument survives as a circular mound of stone, typical of Bronze Age burial practice in the southwest of England. Such cairns frequently contained cremated remains and grave goods, serving as permanent markers for the dead within the upland communities that inhabited Dartmoor during this period.
