Two cairns forming the north eastern edge of a cairnfield on the north eastern slope of White Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises two distinct cairns that mark the north eastern boundary of a larger cairnfield complex, positioned on the sloping terrain of White Hill. These structures date to the Bronze Age period, when the construction of cairns as burial monuments was a widespread practice across upland regions of south-western England. The cairnfield represents a significant concentration of funerary activity from this prehistoric era, with the two monuments serving as markers within a wider ritual landscape.
