Notes
Newman "Fairly large, flat-topped stony cairn (18) which was excavated by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee in 1899, 970 metres south-west of the stone circle. A flat stone was found but no other material retrieved. Disturbance caused by the diggers is visible on the west side of the mound."References
