One of a number of cairns at Black Pool is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The cairn forms part of a cairn field, a grouping of burial monuments typical of the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as markers for the interment of the deceased. The monument consists of a mound of stones characteristic of cairn construction in the south-west of England during the second millennium BCE. Its survival as part of the cairn group at Black Pool contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in Devon.
