Cairn in Devon

This site, some 365 metres west of Grim's Grave, is featured on Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks as Langcombe Brook 5 Cist. Their notes record: "Two end stones and two side stones are in position but the coverstone is missing. 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."

The cist is also recorded as MDV5129 (Cist 365 metres west of Grim's Grave) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER, and scheduled as Historic England List Entry No. 1015755 (Cist 365m west of Grim's Grave).
