Cairn with a cist, the eastern one of two between Langcombe Brook and Deadman's Bottom, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The structure comprises a stone cairn constructed around an internal stone cist, a typical burial arrangement of the Bronze Age period. Such cairns served as prominent territorial markers across the landscape whilst providing formal receptacles for the interment of cremated or inhumed remains, reflecting the funerary practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities. The monument's survival and designation as a heritage asset attests to the archaeological significance of this upland area in recording Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns.
