WHAT DOES CIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cist

Cist

A cist is a small stone-built coffin-like box or ossuary used to hold the bodies of the dead. Examples can be found across Europe and in the Middle East. A cist may have been associated with other monuments, perhaps under a cairn or long barrow. Several cists are sometimes found close together within the same cairn or barrow. Often ornaments have been found within an excavated cist, indicating the wealth or prominence of the interred individual. In Devonshire a local word for a cist in Modern Cornish is kistvaen. There are numerous Dartmoor kistvaens. In the Welsh language, cist is also used for such ancient graves, but in modern use, can also mean a chest, a coffer, a box, or even the boot / trunk of a car.
