Notes

HER: The monument includes a round cairn lying on the summit of White Ridge situated within Great Stannon Newtake. The cairn lies in a very prominent position and commands extensive views over much of Dartmoor. The mound measures 15.8 metres in diameter and stands up to 0.7 metres high. A number of edge set stones on the southern edge of the mound may represent a kerb, which survives elsewhere as a buried feature. Three pits in the mound suggest robbing or partial early excavation.
