This cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a dispersed cairnfield on the north-eastern slope of White Hill in Devon. The monument comprises one of five cairns that together constitute an outlying section of a larger cairnfield complex, demonstrating the considerable extent of Bronze Age burial activity at this location. The cairn consists of a mound of stones accumulated over a central grave or graves, typical of Bronze Age funerary practices in the South West. Such cairnfields represent significant evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices across the Devon uplands.
