Cist and cairn 590m SSE of Skir Ford is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a stone cist, a burial chamber constructed from stone slabs, associated with a cairn mound that would originally have covered the interment. Such monuments are characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice in south-western England, typically dating to the period between approximately 2200 and 700 BCE. The survival of both cist and cairn structure at this location provides archaeological evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practices and territorial settlement patterns in the Devon landscape.
