TheCaptain visited on 18th Sep 2020 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Making it over the northern wall into the area where the forest has recently been cleared, and look for the next "Cairn" marked on my map. Even with gps I struggle to find what could be considered to be a cairn, although there were several contenders. I suspect that what I found as a single standing stone was its last remains.

The cairn also features on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Bellever Tor (SW) Encircled Cairn. PDW classifies this as an encircled cairn, and adds a quotation from J.R. Turner: "(this) cairn, it does not appear to have been excavated, although there is a slight disturbance at the top centre where large granite stones are bared. At the north west extreme are two stones, the positions of which indicate this being part of the retaining circle, no others remain. Height 0.8m, diameter 5.0m".
