Notes

This site was asked about by Max Piper on a Dartmoor Facebook group on 20 Nov 2020. Max observed: "atop Saddle Tor's eastern mass at SX 75154 76343, and at the very, very top. It appears to have utilised bedrock and is almost a ring cairn on the western side where broken rocks have been piled up." In the discussion that followed the consensus was that there had once been a flag pole sited here and that is the origin of this man-made mound. It is being added here as a "reported cairn" to help others trying to make sense of it. Thanks to Max for the grid reference and details. There are no entries on the HER for this feature.
