Overview

History & significance

Three round cairns 960m and 920m north east of Outer Huccaby Ring is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The three cairns represent burial structures typical of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen and stone mounds were constructed across the moor as communal or individual grave markers. Their position in relation to Outer Huccaby Ring, a nearby ritual or defensive enclosure, suggests they formed part of a broader landscape of prehistoric activity in this area. The cairns survive as low stone and earth mounds, their degraded condition reflecting the passage of over three millennia since their construction.
