Cairn and cist 150m north of Vixen Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a cairn with an associated stone cist, representing a typical burial practice of the Bronze Age period when such structures served as communal or individual sepulchral monuments across the moor. The cist, a stone-lined burial chamber, would have contained human remains and possibly grave goods, whilst the cairn of piled stones marked and protected the burial below ground level. This monument exemplifies the extensive Bronze Age funerary landscape that characterises Dartmoor and remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric burial customs in the southwest of England.
