Cairn and cist 425m north of Hen Tor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The structure comprises a cairn covering a stone burial cist, typical of burial practices in southern Britain during the second and early first millennia before the Common Era. Such monuments are significant for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices on the Dartmoor uplands, where cairns and associated cists remain prominent archaeological features. The monument's survival in its moorland setting provides evidence of Bronze Age activity in this landscape and contributes to the archaeological record of Dartmoor's ancient inhabitation.
