Two cairns 720m and 800m east of Higher White Tor is a pair of Bronze Age funerary monuments located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairns represent typical examples of the burial practices employed during the Bronze Age, when such stone-built mounds were constructed as memorials and repositories for the dead across the moorland landscape. Their positioning on the elevated terrain of Dartmoor reflects the Bronze Age settlement and land-use patterns characteristic of the region during the second millennium before Christ. These monuments survive as important archaeological evidence of ritual practice and territorial organization in prehistoric Devon.
