Platform cairn and cist 80m south east of Calveslake Tor is a prehistoric burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site consists of a platform cairn, a constructed mound of stones, associated with a stone cist or burial chamber, typical of Bronze Age funerary practice on the moorland. The monument's location in this upland landscape reflects the pattern of Bronze Age settlement and burial distribution across Dartmoor, where such cairns served as communal or individual burial monuments. The platform cairn form, combined with the presence of a cist, indicates a date within the Bronze Age period, though without excavation the precise chronology remains uncertain.
