Three round cairns 310m south of White Tor summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The three cairns are characteristic of the burial practices employed during the Bronze Age, when such stone-built mounds were constructed as final resting places and markers for the dead across the moorland landscape. The site's location on the elevated terrain of Dartmoor reflects the prehistoric use of high ground for ceremonial and sepulchral purposes. These cairns survive as important archaeological evidence of Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns in the south-western peninsula.
