Round cairn 300m south-west of White Hill summit is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the White Hill round cairn cemetery in Devon. The cairn is constructed of stone rubble and represents a type of burial mound characteristic of the early Bronze Age period in south-west England, when such monuments served as communal or individual repositories for the dead. As a component of the larger cairn cemetery, it demonstrates the pattern of concentrated funerary activity typical of Bronze Age settlement hierarchies and ritual practice. The monument's survival contributes to the archaeological significance of the White Hill cemetery as a whole, providing evidence of prehistoric burial customs and landscape organisation in this region of Devon.
