There is the usual depression in its middle, but otherwise it seems fairly intact, with some quite nice stones forming its outside shape. There is also what seems to be the remains of a circle of stones surrounding it with about 2 metres extra radius.
Not far away is another cairn, in a less intact state.
Visited Tuesday, 1st June 2004
Update September 2019: This encircled cairn is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Corn Ridge Encircled Cairn. PDW tells us this is one of four cairns on Corn Ridge.
The cairn is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 440457, which tells us the diameter of the tumulus is 17m, and it rises to a height of 1.2m. The cairn is also scheduled as Historic England List ID 1007832 (Ring cairn 120m west of Branscombe's Loaf forming part of a cemetery on Corn Ridge summit).
The Devon and Dartmoor HER also includes an entry: MDV3171 (Ring cairn 120 metres west of Branscombe's Loaf), which tells us the diameter of the cairn is 15m, with the retaining kerb having a diameter of 21.5m.
