Stone Circle/Stone Ring Cairn in Devon

Information about the Willing Walls Warren Stone Ring Cairn Circle comes from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website. Their notes tell us: "Willings Walls Warren, Lee Moor. Unusual stone circle. Two kists nearby. Plan. A reave interferes with the circumference of the circle. Four groups of stones are in the circle. No trace of barrow within the circle; and no evidence to show that the stones were ever cists ..... A 40m diameter circle consisting of 5 groups of stones. It touches and is incorporated into the Willings Walls Reave."

The PDW web page gives links to further information on Pastscape, Monument Number 438720, which gives slightly different information: "in the area at which Willing Walls Reave turns through 40 degrees (SX 5818 6516) there are several upright slabs which be heavily robbed cists. Situated on a stone shelf at 330 metres OD are the remains of a near circular structure."

This cairn is also recorded as MDV3438 (RING CAIRN in the Parish of Shaugh Prior), and scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1019083 (Medieval farmstead and field system, length of Willings Walls Reave, four round cairns, a ring cairn and pillow mounds at Willings Walls Warren).
