Cist and retaining kerb south-east of Lower Piles is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a stone cist, a rectangular burial chamber constructed from stone slabs, accompanied by a retaining kerb that would have formed part of a barrow or burial mound. Dating to the Bronze Age, this monument represents a form of funerary practice common across southern England during the second millennium BC, when such stone-built graves were constructed to inter the dead, often with grave goods. The survival of both the cist structure and its associated kerb provides evidence of prehistoric burial customs and the monumental investment communities made in commemorating their deceased.
