Tor cairn on Stiperstones is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on the upland landscape of the Stiperstones ridge in Shropshire. Located 130 metres south-south-east of Manstone Rock, the cairn represents a significant funerary monument from the second millennium BC, a period when such structures were commonly erected across the high ground of the Welsh Marches. The monument consists of a mound of heaped stone, characteristic of cairn construction practices in upland regions where stone was more readily available than soil for earthen barrows. As a designated heritage asset, Tor cairn contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in this area of Shropshire.
