Two cairns on the summit of Water Hill 450 metres north-west of Warren House Inn is a Bronze Age ceremonial or funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The two cairns comprise stone heaps constructed during the Bronze Age period, likely between approximately 2200 and 800 BCE, and represent the burial or ritual practices of prehistoric communities occupying the moorland. The monument's position on the elevated summit of Water Hill suggests its construction was deliberate and visually significant within the Bronze Age landscape. These cairns form part of the substantial Bronze Age cairn distribution found across Dartmoor and contribute to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary practices on the moor.
