One of several cairns on the south-west slope of Penn Beacon is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon. The site comprises a group of cairns positioned on the south-western aspect of the beacon, representing a characteristic funerary landscape of the later prehistoric period. These stone mounds served as burial markers and ritual focal points for Bronze Age communities, and their survival on the exposed moorland slope reflects the enduring monumentality of Bronze Age funerary practice across south-western England.
