Lying just over 220 metres to the south east of Erme Pound Settlement/Ancient Village, this site is featured on Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks as Erme Pound (Near) Cist. Their notes tell us: "noted by Hankin in July 1976, perhaps in a small cairn diameter 3.7m and height 0.3m. It is now filled in and Grinsell failed to locate it, 'it seems never to have been planned if it ever existed.'"
Pastscape Monument Number 441737 describes this site as an "alleged cist with possible cairn."
The Heritage Gateway for Devon & Dartmoor HER number MDV28585 dates the "cist(?) from the Early Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age (4000BC to 701BC)". This site, if it exists, is not scheduled.
