The round cairn on Stiperstones, located 350 metres south-south-west of the Devil's Chair, is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on the high moorland of the Stiperstones ridge in Shropshire. The cairn comprises a mound of stones constructed as a funerary monument, typical of Bronze Age mortuary practice in upland regions of Britain. Its position within this distinctive landscape reflects the established pattern of prehistoric burial sites concentrated along the ridge, which has been recognised in archaeological survey and study of the Stiperstones area. The monument survives as a material record of Bronze Age settlement and ritual practice in the Shropshire uplands, preserving evidence of burial customs and the use of high moorland during the second millennium before the present era.
