Round cairn 60m WSW of Branscombe's Loaf is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on the summit of Corn Ridge in Devon. The cairn forms part of a cemetery complex occupying this elevated ridge location, indicating the ritual and ceremonial significance afforded to the site during prehistory. As a round cairn, the structure would originally have comprised a mound of stones raised over one or more burial deposits, though its current physical condition reflects the considerable erosion typical of such monuments over more than three millennia. The cemetery context suggests sustained use of this prominent landscape feature for funerary purposes across the Bronze Age period.
