Cairn with a cist north of Drizzlecombe stone alignments is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn comprises a mound of stones covering a stone-built cist, a rectangular burial chamber typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in the southwestern peninsula. Its proximity to the Drizzlecombe stone alignments, which form part of a wider complex of ceremonial monuments on the moor, suggests it was integrated within a landscape of ritual significance during the Bronze Age. The monument remains a notable example of the funerary architecture and burial traditions of Bronze Age communities on Dartmoor.
