Notes
The author found this walking south from the Beardown man standing stone on 15/09/20. It is quite clearly a cairn although whether or not it is prehistoric is another matter. There does not seem to be much evidence of clearance taking place in this area which would suggest a prehistoric cairn. There are no records in the HER except to a site further south, see siteid=4005 Devil's Tor. The cairn is approx 4-5 metres across as judged by eye - no precise measurement was taken. The HER record MDV4217 relates to a cairn reported by Worth in 1948 - maybe this is it. The site further south which is identified in the HER record is described as not being a cairn and this author would agree. The NMR record SX 57 NE 2 refers to confusion to two reported sites south of Beardown Man - but neither grid reference is satisfactorly close although likely that is a problem with the grid references.
