| The preferred method of burial seems to have been singular graves and cists in the east, or in small wedge tombs in the west. |
|
| The range incorporates recently patented features that deliver increased reliability with reduced running cists and simplified maintenance. |
|
| There are over 180 known cists on Dartmoor although there could be up to 100 that remain buried underneath unexplored cairns. |
|
| In the South West there are no cists to be found on the Quantock Hills, only 2 to be found on Exmoor and 58 to be found on Bodmin Moor. |
|
| A small number of the skeletons were in long cists but the majority were simple shroud burials. |
|
| Ten years later the sea exposed two more cists, each with a beaker. |
|
| The cists were probably robbed in the hope of finding treasure. |
|
| Since the 1980s Bronze Age stone-lined burial pits, called cists, have been exposed lodged in the cliff-side at Low Hauxley on Druridge Bay as the shoreline gradually erodes. |
|
| Cists are often to be found in the centre of a cairn circle although some appear solitary which could be the result of the loss of an original slight mound. |
|
| Cists are common in the south-west of England and elsewhere, with 200 known on Dartmoor alone, but they are rarely found with their original contents. |
