| 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 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. |
| A small number of the skeletons were in long cists but the majority were simple shroud burials. |
| Some at least of these gigantic structures were buried under a tumular mound, precisely in the same manner as the smaller cists. |
| The preferred method of burial seems to have been singular graves and cists in the east, or in small wedge tombs in the west. |
