Cairn with a cist east of Willings Walls Reave is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a cairn, a mound constructed from stones, containing a stone-built cist or burial chamber, and dates to the Bronze Age period when such cairn-and-cist combinations were the predominant form of funerary monument across the Dartmoor landscape. The monument lies within an area rich in prehistoric remains, situated east of the Willings Walls Reave, a substantial linear boundary feature of Bronze Age date that would have subdivided the moorland. The site is a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its archaeological importance as evidence of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns on Dartmoor.
