Hollowcome Cairn and Cist
Hollowcome Cairn and Cist submitted by davep : The Archerton S.W. (Rowtor Brook) Ring Setting Cairn and Cist, from Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks, site 375. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cist in Devon

A 6m diameter cairn with a central cist of three large stone slabs. For more information see Pastscape monument no. 442531.

This site also features on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Archerton S.W. (Rowtor Brook) Ring Setting Cairn and Cist. PDW tells us: "The cist lies within three concentric circles of stones at 10, 15 and 24 feet diameters, the inner ring being of large stones, the middle ring of smaller stones and the outer ring of even smaller stones. The cist measures internally 0.8m by 0.6m and 0.9m deep. Half of its capstone lies across its north end", and also gives a link to the Devon & Dartmoor HER for more information.
