Cairn with a cist on the eastern slope of Brent Fore Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a cairn, a mound constructed from heaped stones, which contains a cist, a stone-built burial chamber characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice. Such monuments are common across the upland regions of south-western England and represent the burial practices of Bronze Age communities, typically dating to between approximately 2200 and 700 BCE. The survival of both the cairn structure and its internal cist chamber makes this a significant example of Bronze Age mortuary architecture in the Devon landscape.
