Stone circle, cairn alignment, cider millstone and boundary ditch 410m south east of Sourton Tors is a Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary monument complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a stone circle, Bronze Age cairns arranged in linear formation, a later cider millstone, and a boundary ditch, representing multiple phases of human activity and land use spanning from the Bronze Age through to the early modern period. The stone circle and cairn alignment indicate the site's primary significance as a Bronze Age ritual or burial landscape, whilst the presence of the cider millstone demonstrates continued utilisation of the area in post-medieval times. The boundary ditch reflects the later formal demarcation of land ownership or agricultural management on the moor, illustrating the evolving relationship between settlement and the moorland environment across several millennia.
