Cairn and cist 600m north east of Routrundle is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a cairn, a mound of stones constructed as a funerary structure, together with a cist, a stone-built burial chamber that would have contained human remains. Such monuments are characteristic of burial practices during the Bronze Age in south-western Britain, when communal and individual inhumation within stone-constructed graves became the established custom. The survival of both the cairn structure and the associated cist demonstrates the enduring archaeological value of this funerary site for understanding prehistoric mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Devon landscape.
