yar tor cairn. looking back towards corndon hill bronze age cairns. both the southern tor cairns and one of the northern cairns are visible on the brow of the hill. visibility seems to be the watch word for siting burial cairns, mounds and barrows in the bronze age with the move away from a more anonymous collective burials celebrating the ancestors in the neolithic, being replaced by a continental ‘beaker’ culture based on celebrating individuals within a more stratified societal structure. ..#yartor, #burialcairn, #cairns, #bronzeage, #tors, #dartmoor, #ancientsite, #stonecairns, #ancientsites, #ancestors, #ancient-history, #prehistory, #neolithic, #beakerculture, #collectiveburials, #ancestorworship, #standoutstones, #intervisibility,
