Cairn with a cist, the western one of two between Langcombe Brook and Deadman's Bottom, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site comprises a substantial cairn constructed from piled stones, within which is contained a stone-built cist, a typical burial feature of the Bronze Age period. Such monuments are characteristic of burial practices during the second and early first millennium before the Common Era, reflecting the ritual and commemorative traditions of prehistoric communities in south-western England. The monument's position as part of a pair of similar structures suggests a significant focus of Bronze Age activity in this upland landscape between the named watercourses.
