Drizzlecombe cairn 14
Drizzlecombe cairn 14 submitted by thecaptain : View from cairn 14 towards the south overlooking much of the Drizzlecombe complex. In the distance, menhir 3 and Menhir 1 can be seen at the ends of their stone rows. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Kerbed cairn ring making up part of the Drizzlecombe complex on southwestern Dartmoor in Devon.

Seven side set stones touching together make up the remains of a stone ring here, less than half of the circumference, and about 3.5 metres in diameter.

Updated September 2019: This cairn is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entries for the Drizzlecombe Platform Cairn Circle and the Drizzlecombe Ceremonial Complex (Photos 1).

The cairn is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 438613, which adds: "There is a possibly displaced block of stone, 0.3m by 0.2m by 0.1m high, isolated on the east side of the perimeter. A very slight rise possibly indicating the cairn is visible within the circle". The cairn also has a record on the Devon and Dartmoor HER; see MDV3374 (Cairn at Ditsworth Warren).

Whilst there is no scheduling information for this cairn, it is marked on the Historic England map of the general location as a 'cairn circle'.
