| Summary : Cairn measuring 6.5 metres by 6.4 metres and standing 0.9 metres high. Some protruding stones on the east side may indicate a former kerb. A stone-lined hollow 2.5 metres in diameter and 0.6 metres deep lies in the centre of the mound. The Bronze Age cairn, recorded by previous authorities, is visible as an 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.
