Hentor 7 submitted by davep : The Hentor (Shavercombe) Cist from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks website, site no. 422. Photograph taken 13th August 2017. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn and cist in Devon

Information about this cairn with the remains of a cist - Hentor (Shavercombe) Cist - comes from Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW). Their notes say: "The oval cairn is 7.5m by 6.5m and 0.9m high with some kerbing. An amorphous hollow occupies the centre of the mound and a single sidestone of the cist remains in situ". Also see PDW's Guide to the Hentor & Shavercombe Brook Cists.

The PDW web page gives links to further information on Pastscape, Monument Number 438794, which adds that this site is on the eastern side of Shavercombe Brook at approximately 395.0m OD.

The Heritage Gateway for Devon & Dartmoor HER number MDV3491 (CAIRN in the Parish of Shaugh Prior) which records that there are traces of a retaining kerb. They date the cairn and cist as being Early Neolithic to Late Bronze Age (4000BC to 701BC). It is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1012173 (Cairn with cist north of Shavercombe Brook).
