The westernmost cairn of the four-cairn group on the western slope of White Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a wider cairnfield in Devon. The monument consists of a rubble mound of stone, characteristic of burial cairns from the Bronze Age period. Its position as part of a larger cairnfield indicates this area was used for multiple burials across the same chronological horizon, reflecting the importance of this upland location for mortuary practices during the second millennium BC. The cairn survives as an earthwork monument, preserving evidence of Bronze Age settlement and funerary activity in the Devon landscape.
