Roundhill Summit

The stone box on Roundhill Summit (also called Roundhill East or Round Hill East ) is located south of Two Bridges , a hamlet east of Princetown in Dartmoor in Devon , England .

The approximately 2.75 m long, 0.6 m wide and just as deep stone box is located in the middle of a small hill 4.5 m in diameter, with some of its curbs. The laterally shifted capstone measures about 1.35 × 1.05 m. Two stones of the box, one on the north and one on the east, clearly protrude from the lawn. There are traces of a hill around the box.

The stone boxes in Devon are dated from the early Neolithic to the late Bronze Age (4000 to 700 BC).

Nearby are the Crock of Gold and Blakey Tor stone boxes .
