This cairn with a cist is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon near the head of a southern tributary of Langcombe Brook. The structure comprises a mound of stone with an associated stone burial chamber or cist, typical of funerary practices during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments are characteristic of the burial traditions of upland Devon during the second millennium before Christ, reflecting the established ritual practices and settlement patterns of prehistoric communities in the South West. The survival of both the cairn mound and cist provides evidence of Bronze Age mortuary behaviour and the use of upland areas for ceremonial and burial purposes.
