Eastern of five cairns forming an outlying part of a cairnfield on the north eastern slope of White Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The cairn is part of a dispersed group of funerary structures that extends across the landscape of this region, representing the ritual practices and settlement patterns of prehistoric communities. As one of five cairns comprising an outlying section of the larger cairnfield, it reflects the Bronze Age tradition of constructing stone burial monuments in upland areas. The monument survives as a physical manifestation of prehistoric mortuary behaviour and landscape use in the South West of England.
