The Cist and associated mound in Langridge Wood, located 410 metres north-west of Treborough Lodge in Somerset, is a Bronze Age burial monument consisting of a stone burial chamber and its surrounding earthen mound. The cist itself represents a typical Bronze Age funerary practice, wherein burials were placed within stone-built chambers that were subsequently covered by a mound of earth and stone to create a barrow. The monument survives as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of ritual burial practices and settlement patterns from the Bronze Age period. The site contributes to the archaeological understanding of mortuary customs and land use in the Exmoor region during the second millennium before the common era.
