Notes: HER: Cator pound, widecombe. In his survey of widecombe made about 1750, dean milles describes 'a very considerable circle of stones on the n part of the western down on a farm called cator and on an eminence called whitehill'; he gives the diameter as 58 paces and says it consisted 'chiefly of large stones mowst of which rise about 4 feet above ye ground. This circle consists now of about 30 stones but there are spaces where several more stood, half the number are fallen; the rest are either erect or on their sides'.

The row was about 123 metres long orientated to the north-east and without any associated cairn.

Notes: R.N. Worth The cist was examined in 1895/6 but nothing was found. It was surrounded by a double retaining circle and a stone row lead from it north west, of which ten stones remained, but these had sunk into the bog leaving only their tops showing. SRGB states: This description makes it clear that this is unlikely to be a stone row since a row composed of small stones would not have survived the ditch digging involved in the building of the hedge. It is much more likely that they represented stones exposed in the side of the ditch. HER also has: The stone row which falls in an afforested area could not be identified and has probably been destroyed

Notes: Butler Cairn 5. Tuner lists this as G24 Stone Circle.

In these listings we will leave it as a cairn circle. HER: A ring cairn lying on a gentle slope near the summit of Lakehead Hill. The cairn is defined by a circle of edge set stones which measure 7.8 metres in diameter and stand up to 0.9 metres high. DEC Report 3: A second small kistvaen within a circle exists on the west side of Lake Head Hill, and was examined, but nothing was found in it. The circle about it is tolerably complete and the stone chest has lost only one of the side-stones ; but it is very small. Apparently a small stone row led from it. Near the kistvaen is a circle of stones enclosing a cairn, but no kistvaen. From the circle perhaps a stone row led away east, but only three stones remain in line.
