The Cist with a retaining kerb north-west of Corringdon Ball is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The structure comprises a stone-built burial chamber, likely dating to the second millennium BC, and is demarcated by a kerb of stones that would have originally served to retain and define the mound surrounding the interment. Such cists represent a characteristic funerary practice of the Bronze Age in the south-west of England, reflecting the ritual treatment of the dead during this period. The monument's survival on Dartmoor, where stone monuments are well-preserved due to limited later development, contributes to understanding Bronze Age burial customs and settlement patterns in the region.
