Cairn and cist 150m north of Vixen Tor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a cairn, a mound constructed from accumulated stones, within which a stone-built cist or burial chamber was incorporated, representing a typical funerary practice of the Bronze Age period. The monument's proximity to Vixen Tor, a prominent granite outcrop, places it within a landscape rich in prehistoric remains. Such cairns with integrated cists served as repositories for cremated or inhumed human remains and often contained grave goods, reflecting the ritual practices and social structures of Bronze Age communities in the South West.
