Round cairn 380m south-west of White Hill summit is a prehistoric funerary monument forming part of the White Hill round cairn cemetery in Devon. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a significant element of the burial landscape characteristic of upland regions in south-west England during the second millennium BC. As a component of a larger cemetery grouping, it demonstrates the ceremonial importance of the White Hill locality and the practice of clustered burial monuments typical of Bronze Age communities. The monument survives as a low mound of heaped stone, consistent with the typical morphology of round cairns across the Devonian uplands.
