A cairn forming part of the cairnfield on the western slope of White Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a scatter of stone cairns distributed across the hillside, representing a burial landscape typical of later prehistoric funerary practice in the South West. These monuments are characteristic of Bronze Age communities who utilised elevated terrain for their ceremonial and burial grounds, with individual cairns marking the interment of the deceased. The cairnfield demonstrates the concentrated use of specific landscapes for mortuary activity during the Bronze Age period.
