Cairn 550m south-west of Raddick Hill summit forming part of a cairnfield is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Devon. The cairn constitutes part of a wider cairnfield complex, a settlement pattern characteristic of upland areas during the Bronze Age when such elevated landscapes supported pastoral and agricultural communities. The monument survives as a stone mound, typical of burial cairns constructed during this period to inter the dead and mark their graves within the landscape. Such cairnfield monuments represent an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and land use in south-west England.
