Cairn with a cist south-east of Plym Steps is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The site consists of a cairn, a mound of stones constructed as a funerary structure, within which a stone-built cist or burial chamber was incorporated. Such monuments are typical of Bronze Age funerary practices in south-western England, dating to approximately 2000–700 BCE. The survival of both the cairn structure and its internal cist makes this an important archaeological example of Bronze Age burial tradition in the region.
