Stone setting (retaining kerb of a cairn) north-east of Brisworthy Plantation is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a kerb of stones that originally formed the retaining edge of a cairn, a burial mound constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such kerbed cairns are characteristic funerary structures of the second millennium BC and represent significant evidence of Dartmoor's intensive use during prehistory. The surviving stone setting preserves the structural arrangement of this ancient burial monument, contributing to the archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practices in the south-west of England.
