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'.
