Cairn with a cist on the eastern slope of Brent Fore Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a cairn containing a stone burial cist, a common funerary arrangement dating to the Bronze Age period when such stone-built graves served as receptacles for cremated or inhumed human remains. The monument's location on the eastern slope of Brent Fore Hill places it within a landscape that likely held significance for Bronze Age communities, as hill slopes were frequently chosen for burial cairn placement. This example contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices in the south-western peninsula and remains an important surviving monument from this prehistoric period.
