Notes
This is a likely duplicate of the Winter Tor cist entry HER MDV 6881. The HER entry for this record states: Possible cist noted at Winter Tor; this could not be located during MPP field investigation.. However, there s also a reference to barrow Report 21 which has an entry for winter Tor cists which in turn on p.146 references Prowse's Taw marsh article of 1890. That article has a plan of the cist in Fig 2 and Fig 3 which shows the stones of MDV 6881.References
