Cairn south-east of Higher Piles is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site comprises a mound of stones constructed during the later prehistoric period, likely between the second and first millennia BC, and represents the burial practices of Bronze Age communities in south-west England. Such cairns served as permanent markers for individual or family interments and often contained cremated remains within stone-built chambers or cists. The monument survives as a visible earthwork feature in the Devon landscape, contributing to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and ritual practice in the region.
