The tops of the stones are at ground level Length of N side stone 1.4m, S side stone 1m, W end stone 0.6m, and E end stone 0.5m. Present depth of cist is 0.3m." Also see their entry for the Guide to the Langcombe Brook & Deadman's Bottom Cists
Further information can be found on Pastscape, Monument Number 441667, which adds that the cist is Bronze Age and that it "is on a north slope at about 400m OD and currently in an area of thick long grass."
