Stone alignment and cairn 830m east of Down Tor is a Bronze Age monument located on Dartmoor in Devon, comprising a linear arrangement of stones and an associated cairn. The stone alignment represents a form of ritual or ceremonial construction typical of the Bronze Age period, when such monumental arrangements were established across the moorland landscape. The cairn, likely a burial mound dating to the same period, sits in close association with the alignment, suggesting a deliberate relationship between the two elements within the Bronze Age funerary and ceremonial complex. This monument contributes to the substantial body of Bronze Age evidence on Dartmoor and exemplifies the types of stone arrangements that characterise prehistoric activity across the moor.
