Two round cairns 540m ENE of Sourton Tors is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises two separate circular mounds constructed of stone, characteristic of burial cairns erected during the Bronze Age period when such structures served as communal or individual sepulchral monuments across upland areas of south-western England. The cairns' location on the high moorland landscape reflects the settlement and ritual patterns of Bronze Age communities in this region. As recorded monuments of the National Heritage List for England, they remain significant archaeological evidence of prehistoric funerary practice on Dartmoor.
