Round cairn 700m south-west of Great Nodden is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon. The site comprises a substantial earthwork mound constructed in the characteristic form of a cairn, a burial structure built from stone rather than soil. As a round cairn, it represents a common funerary monument type prevalent during the Bronze Age across South West England, reflecting contemporary practices of interring the deceased beneath prominent landscape features. Such monuments typically contained inhumed or cremated human remains, often accompanied by grave goods, though the specific contents of this particular cairn are not documented in the available record.
