Three round cairns 310m south of White Tor summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The three cairns, which survive as earthwork remains, represent typical examples of the burial practices prevalent during the Bronze Age period in south-western England, when such stone or earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of prominent individuals or community members. The site's location on high ground is consistent with the pattern of Bronze Age cairn distribution across Dartmoor. These monuments form part of the substantial archaeological record of prehistoric activity preserved on the moorland landscape.
