Twelve cairns, a lynchet and a boundary bank forming part of a cairnfield 440m south-west of Raddick Hill summit is a Bronze Age monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairnfield comprises twelve burial cairns arranged across the moorland, alongside a lynchet indicating ancient land cultivation and a boundary bank that demarcates territorial divisions within the landscape. These features collectively represent the sustained use of this upland area during the Bronze Age, when communities constructed cairns for burial practices whilst simultaneously managing and organizing their surrounding agricultural land. The monument provides archaeological evidence of how Bronze Age populations exploited Dartmoor's higher elevations for both funerary and economic purposes.
