Cairn with cist west of Legis Lake is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Devon, England. The site comprises a cairn, a mound of stones erected over a burial, which contains or is associated with a cist, a stone-built burial chamber constructed from stone slabs. Such monuments are characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices in south-western England, typically dating to the period between approximately 2200 and 700 BC. The survival of both cairn and cist elements makes this site an important example of Bronze Age mortuary archaeology in the region.
