Two ring cairns 250m north of the Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on Cox Tor is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of two circular stone cairns arranged in close proximity, characteristic of cairn groupings found across the moorland plateau. Ring cairns of this type typically date to the Bronze Age, though some examples may have Neolithic origins, and they served as burial monuments or ceremonial markers for early farming communities. The monument forms part of the extensive archaeological landscape of Dartmoor, where such cairn complexes provide evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary practices across upland terrain.
