Notes

HER: Prehistoric cairn to the south of Haytor Rocks. The cairn consists of a low earth mound of 8.7m diameter and 0.5m high on average. It has a flattish top with a 1.5m by 0.5m deep depression, set just off centre, marking the site of an unrecorded excavation. This cairn is probably part of a ridge top alignment.
