Lake Down cairnfield is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on elevated moorland in Devon. The site comprises a dispersed field of burial cairns characteristic of the second millennium BC, reflecting the burial practices and territorial organization of Bronze Age communities in the south-west. Such cairnfield complexes are important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and land use during prehistory, though the specific number and condition of individual cairns at Lake Down would require direct archaeological record consultation for precise details.
