Notes
This is probably the cist and cairn excavated by Baring-Gould c1900. No trace of a cist today. Spooner observed a cairn in this vicinity in 1960. This maybe the cist excavated in 1900 or could be a different feature. Grinsell recorded these with two separate records. See also THR 2 NMR 443776. THR 1, 2. SiteID=2502.
