Notes
HER: Possible stone circle on Gidleigh Common, first recorded in 1925. Doubtful feature not positively identified since 1925.(Area centred SX 65548758) Stone Circle, 6 metres in diameter. Ten stones remain, three still standing. (H H Breton undated but thought to be around 1925)
Doubtful; probably a retaining circle. (R H Worth, 1948)
Formerly listed as a reported stone circle but stone circles are not this size. The feature, if it exists, will be a cairn circle, so this entry has been changed to reported cairn.
