TheCaptain visited on 7th Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The large cairn at the top of the stone row is completely overgrown, as is the top of the row, but I found a few fairly large fallen stones hidden underneath the overgrowth.
Update August 2019: This cairn is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Trendlebere Row S. Cairn.
The cairn is also recorded as part of the entry for Pastscape Monument No. 444981, which includes the stone row, the remains of a cairn and the site of a cairn. It is also scheduled as part of the entry for Historic England List ID 1003056 (Stone Row N of Yarner Wells), which includes its terminal cairn. More information can be found on the Devon and Dartmoor HER: MDV8077 (Cairn at south end of stone row on Trendlebere Down).
The cairn is also featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for the Tendelbere Down Stone Row, which includes a plan of the stone row and its relationship to the cairns associated with it (this row is at its southern end).
