Langridge Wood Cist

Cist in Devon. This Bronze Age cist is one of only seven to have been documented on Exmoor, only two of which survive.

It is lined with slate slabs, and a large 5ft square capstone still partially covers its top.

The mound that would have surrounded it was dug into in 1820 for road stone When the cist was disturbed a skeleton was found inside and this was reinterred in the churchyard at nearby Treborough

I've come across a 2 page article in 'Secret Exmoor' by Peter Hesp, [Exmoor National Park Authority, 1985], who calls it the Stone Grave of Druid's Combe, or the Druid's Combe cist. It's a very good description of the cist and its history, so when I've more time I'll type it up.
