The cist stones of Dartmoor are ancient burial structures dating back to the Bronze Age. Scattered across the moorland, these stone-lined tombs were used for cremation burials, often covered by a cairn. They offer a glimpse into the region's prehistoric past and are a key feature of Dartmoor’s archaeological landscape.
