Two round cairns 600m ENE of Great Trowlesworthy Tor is a Bronze Age monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairns are constructed from stones gathered and heaped to form distinctive circular mounds, characteristic of funerary monuments from the Bronze Age period. Such cairns typically date to between approximately 2200 and 700 BC and served as burial markers for individuals of standing within contemporary communities. The monument's survival on Dartmoor reflects the relative preservation of Bronze Age features in this upland landscape, where later agricultural development has been limited.
