The round cairn on Stiperstones, located 350 metres south-south-west of the Devil's Chair in Shropshire, is a Bronze Age funerary monument. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial marker, characteristic of funerary practices during the Bronze Age period. Its position on the high ground of the Stiperstones ridge reflects the typical placement of such monuments in prominent upland locations, where they would have been visible markers within the prehistoric landscape. Like other cairns of this date and region, it represents an important example of Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary activity in the Shropshire uplands.
