Notes
The Black Tor (Avon) row is headed at the NW end by two small cairns. Lethbridge suggests remains of cist in one of them. Lethbridge Discover Prehistoric Dartmoor diagram p.85. [Photo and grid reference added in June 2019 from old data - it is probably right but could do with confirming].References
