Cairn with cist north of Gutter Tor is a prehistoric burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. Dating to the Bronze Age, the monument comprises a stone cairn constructed around a central cist, a typical funerary structure of this period in the southwest of England. The site represents an important example of the burial practices employed by Bronze Age communities on Dartmoor, where such cairns were used to inter the deceased and mark significant territorial or ancestral locations. The survival of both the cairn mound and the stone-lined burial chamber provides archaeological evidence for Bronze Age mortuary traditions in the upland landscape of Devon.
