Notes
"A low ovoid cairn located in an area of peat cuttings and shell craters on a ridge crest, 250 metres south of Devil's Tor. It is partially obscured by heather and measures 3.1 metres in diameter with a maximum height of 0.4 metres. There are no indications of a kerb or cist and no obvious sign of disturbance. A natural stone pile at SX 59457939 has been erroneously claimed as the feature described by Worth."References
