Two ring cairns 410m south east of Higher Blannicombe is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on Farway Hill in Devon. These cairns form part of a larger round barrow cemetery that reflects the ritual and burial practices of communities during the Bronze Age, when such monumental earthworks served as communal expressions of status and commemoration for the deceased. The ring cairns, constructed from gathered stone, are characteristic examples of the funerary architecture common to this period and region. Their survival and preservation on the hillside landscape contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ceremonial activity in south-western England.
