Notes

This looks like a cist but is in fact remains from tar and feather work as identified by Robert Naylor. This photo taken in August 2014 by the author and labelled as "looks like a cist" and marked as a Garmin waypoint "cist?". Located on the southern slope of Kennon Hill in an area of very deep tussocky grass. The author was unable to get back to check it out and posted about this on 4 February 2020 on a Dartmoor Facebook group. The author is grateful to Robert Naylor for having checked it out and clarifying that it is not a cist. Listing here as not a cist will help those in future who stumble across this. For more on this thanks to Max Piper and Dartefacts, see: feather-and-tare-cist-on-kennon-hill
