Dartmoor kistvaens are burial tombs or cists from the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, i.e. from c 2500 BC to c 1500 BC. Kistvaens have been found in many places, including Dartmoor, a 954 km2 (368 square miles) area of moorland in south Devon, England. The box-like stone tombs were created when the ancient people of the area lived in hut circles. 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. 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. The Dartmoor cists are uniq

- Le kistvaen di Dartmoor sono delle sepolture a cista del periodo tardo neolitico e dell'Età del Bronzo comprese tra il 2500 a.C. ed il 1500 a.C. Le kistvaens si possono trovare in molti luoghi tra cui Dartmoor, in un'area di brughiera di 954 m² a sud del Devon, in Inghilterra. Le tombe, di forma a scatola, vennero create dall'antico popolo dell'area che viveva in cerchi di pietra. Le ciste spesso si trovano al centro di un cairn anche se talvolta possono apparire solitarie col risultato di un singolo monte di terra. Vi sono più di 180 ciste conosciute a Dartmoor anche se potrebbero esservi altre 100 tombe circa ancora inesplorate. A sudovest non vi sono ciste sulle colline di Quantock, e solo 2 si possono trovare a Exmoor mentre 58 sono state ritrovate a Bodmin Moor. Le ciste di Dartmoor h (it)
