Two cairns 720m and 800m east of Higher White Tor is a pair of Bronze Age funerary monuments located on Dartmoor in Devon. These cairns form part of the extensive ceremonial landscape of the moor, where such stone burial mounds served as focal points for ritual activity and communal commemoration during the Bronze Age period. The monuments are positioned within the characteristic upland terrain of Dartmoor, contributing to the archaeological record of prehistoric burial practices in the region. Their survival as discrete earthworks reflects the persistence of these structures across millennia on the moorland environment.
