Most cairns have been dated to the Early Bronze Age which places them to between 2300 and 1400 BC. The average Dartmoor cairn has a diameter of 28 feet. At the centre of the cairns was a burial that was either placed in a kist or a small pit.
Many Dartmoor cairns have had their stones used for other purposes such as the building of walls and cottages.
This Cairn is situated on Raddick Hill, the kist can clearly be seen in the centre of the cairn.
