Notes

A claimed possible cist that could just be a natural arrangement. "An arrangement of stones made up of a pair of long edge-set orthostatic slabs placed to the E and S of a large tilted slab. It is possible that this is a disturbed cist, comprising a displaced sidestone and two endstones but the two orthostats are not parallel and there is no clear central depression. the length between the endstones is 1.2m and the height of the tilted slab is 0.49m. NGR SX 5928 6727" (From Robertson,Jennifer 1991 The Archaeology of the Upper Plym Unpublished PhD Thesis p875). No HER record, the NMR (Sept 1999) gives NGR SX 5927 6727. The item in the photo is probably the site referred to and is located at SX 59232 67271
