Notes
SX 59667941. A low ovoid cairn located in an area of peat cuttings and shell craters on a ridge crest, 250m south of Devils Tor. It is partially obscured by heather and measures 3.1m in diameter with a maximum height of 0.4m. There are no indications of a kerb or cist and no obvious sign of disturbance. A natural stone pile at SX 59457939 (SX 57 NE 2) has been erroneously claimed as the feature described by Worth ('A cairn about 200 yards south of Beardown Man'; see MDV4217).Formerly linked to MDV4217 with grid reference SX 59570 79409. That HER entry has been updated and moved to the West and the entry replaced with MDV131162.
