Cairn in Devon
Some 420 metres west of Willing Walls Warren Stone Circle (featured on the Portal but without a description or photographs - yet!), this site is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks website as the Willing Walls Warren Platform Cairn Circle and Cist. Their notes tell us: "the remains of a kerbed cairn with cist on a slight NW slope near a reave. The cairn is 4.6m in diameter and 0.6m high. Within the outer ring of stones is a second ring of boulders not shown on Worth's plan but which may represent an inner kerb. The cist is 1.8m by 0.9m and 0.5m deep with an adjacent coverstone."
Further information can also be found on the Pastscape website, see Monument Number 438714, which tells us the cist is aligned east to west. Their notes from 1932 say that "within the outer ring of stones is a second ring of boulders not shown on Worth's plan but which may represent an inner kerb."
The cairn is also recorded as MDV4021 (Cairn at Willings Wall Warren)on the Devon and Dartmoor HER, and scheduled as Historic England List Entry No. 1012209 (Cairn with a cist east of Willings Walls Reave).
