| Summary : A small, slightly ovoid, cairn containing a cist and traces of a former kerb circle. The cairn measures 4.0m N to S by 3.6m in diameter and stands a maximum of 0.3m high. The central cist measures 0.8m NW to SE, between 0.3m and 0.6m wide and remains 0.6m deep. The former coverstone lies to the E. The majority of the spaced kerb stones are visible in the N and E margins. The Bronze Age cairn and cist, recorded by previous authorities, are visible as a structure and earthwork on Environment Agency 1m Lidar data flown in 2019 and 2021 Historic England orthomosaic aerial photography. The site was mapped from aerial sources in 2023 during the Historic England Dartmoor-Plym project.
