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 comprises a kerb of stones that once retained the perimeter of a cairn, representing the structural remains of a burial mound of prehistoric date. Such stone settings are characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice on Dartmoor, where they served to define and contain the earth and stone heaps raised over the dead. The monument's survival, albeit in partial form, provides evidence of the funerary traditions and landscape use of Bronze Age communities in this region.
