Tor cairn 50m north east of Hookney Tor is a prehistoric burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age, a period of significant ceremonial and funerary monument construction across the moorland landscape. It represents one of many such burial structures scattered across this region, which testify to sustained human activity and settlement patterns during the second millennium BCE. The monument's survival, despite centuries of moorland management and agricultural activity, contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practices in south-western England.
