Stone alignment and cairn 830m east of Down Tor is a prehistoric monument located in Devon, comprising a linear arrangement of stones alongside a burial cairn. The site dates to the Bronze Age, a period characterised by the construction of such ceremonial and funerary monuments across the upland regions of south-western England. The alignment and cairn together represent the ritual and commemorative practices of Bronze Age communities, reflecting both practical burial needs and ceremonial significance in the landscape.
