Cairn and cist forming part of a cairnfield on Homerton Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon. The site comprises a cairnfield consisting of multiple burial cairns with at least one stone cist, a burial chamber constructed from stone slabs, representing a characteristic funerary practice of the Bronze Age. The monument reflects the ritual landscape and burial practices of the second millennium BC, when such cairnfields were established on upland areas across south-western England. The site's survival as a coherent cairnfield preserves important evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary behaviour in the region.
