One of a number of cairns at Black Pool is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The cairn forms part of a group of funerary structures at this site, typical of the barrow cemetery tradition established across the South West during the second millennium before Christ. Such monuments were constructed by heaping stones over cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods, and represent significant investments in ritual commemoration by Bronze Age communities. The survival of multiple cairns at Black Pool provides evidence of sustained use of the burial ground across an extended period and contributes to understanding of prehistoric funerary practice in the region.
