One of a number of cairns with cists south of Shavercombe Brook is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a group of burial cairns, each containing stone cists, which represent a characteristic funerary practice of the Bronze Age period. Cairns with cists of this type are distributed across the upland areas of south-western England and typically date from the second millennium BCE. The monument group demonstrates the settlement and ceremonial practices of Bronze Age communities in the region, with the stone cist burials providing evidence of ritual deposition and social organisation during this period.
