One of several cairns on the south-west slope of Penn Beacon is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The cairn forms part of a cairn cemetery on the slope, indicating concentrated burial activity during the Bronze Age period. Like other monuments of its type in this region, it would have served as a conspicuous marker for one or more burials, constructed from stone gathered from the surrounding landscape. The presence of multiple cairns in close proximity suggests this location held particular significance as a burial ground for Bronze Age communities in the area.
