Notes
HER (1987): SX 5321 7618. An oval cairn situated on a slight slope SE of Cox Tor. It is composed of small and medium size stones (up to 0.2m diameter) forming a mound 4.6m by 4m and 0.35m to 0.45m high. There is a flattish top 2m across. No formal constructional details are visible. This cairn is similar to another situated 45m to the SW (see SX 57 NW 94). Its small size might suggest a connection with clearance; there are hut circles in the vicinity (see SX 57 NW 40, 141).Gerrard (1982) SX 531 761 Clearance cairn defining north-east corner of enclosure MDV49832. Diameter 5.5m, height 0.8m. May have been used as initial marking out point, or may have been built over the corner of an existing enclosure.
The author could find nothing at SX 531 761. No sign of enclosure walls at the grid reference - maybe this is some distance to the south. The HER record includes a reference to Butler record for cairn 1.9.
