This cairn has a pit in its centre, and no signs of any cist like the others.
Update October 2019: This cairn is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entries for the Fernworthy (SW) Encircled Cairn and the Fernworthy Ceremonial Complex. PDW tells us the dimensions of the cairn are 6.5m in diameter by 0.3m high, and the central hollow is the result of an excavation carried out in 1898. There are two rings of orthostats, at 7m and 5m diameter.
The cairn is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 443856. The Devon and Dartmoor HER also has a record for this cairn; see MDV 14885) (Cairn south of the stone circle at Fernworthy.
The cairn 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).
The cairn also features as part of the Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for Fernworthy 3, which includes a description of the stone row, a plan showing its relationship to this cairn, and photographs.
