Cairn north of Giant's Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a substantial earthen and stone mound characteristic of funerary practice during the second millennium BC, when such cairns served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and functioned as prominent territorial markers across the landscape. The monument's survival into the modern period, despite agricultural use of surrounding land, attests to its original scale and construction. As a designated heritage asset, the cairn contributes to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary customs in the southwestern peninsula.
