The round cairn and cist on the south west side of Crow Tor is a prehistoric burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon, England. The monument consists of a circular mound of stones with an associated stone burial chamber or cist, typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in the region. Such cairns represent important evidence of ritual practices and settlement patterns during the Bronze Age, when communal and individual burial monuments were constructed across the upland areas of south west England. The site's location on Dartmoor reflects the intensive use of this landscape during the second and early first millennia BC for both settlement and ceremonial purposes.
