Two cairns and a cist located 300 yards northwest of Swincombe intake in Devon is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising two separate burial cairns and an associated stone cist. The monument dates to the Bronze Age period when such cairn burials were a common funerary practice across upland regions of southwest England. The site represents a typical example of Bronze Age mortuary architecture found on Dartmoor and its surroundings, where multiple burials were often positioned in proximity to one another across the landscape. Such monuments form part of the extensive Bronze Age funerary record that characterises the archaeological heritage of Devon's upland areas.
