Its main defining feature is the two upstanding stones in its centre, probably two stones from the central cist.
This cist is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entries for the Fernworthy Cist and the Fernworthy Ceremonial Complex.
The barrow and cist is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 443898 and on the Devon and Dartmoor HER as MDV6719 (Cairn to south of Fernworthy Stone Circle).
This site is also scheduled as part of Historic England List ID 1017984 (A stone circle, known as Fernworthy Circle, three stone alignments and five cairns 425m and 525m north west of Sandeman Bridge).
