Cairn on Piles Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site consists of a stone cairn, a characteristic burial structure of prehistoric date constructed from accumulated stones. Its precise dating and cultural attribution remain subjects of archaeological interest, though such monuments typically served as communal or individual burial places during the third and second millennia before the present era. The cairn represents an important element of Devon's prehistoric archaeological landscape and the broader tradition of monumental stone construction in south-western Britain during antiquity.
