Information about this site comes from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entries for the Stalldown West Platform Cairn Circle and Cist and the Stalldown Stone Row and Terminal Cairn. PDW tells us: "this small round cairn, diameter 5.7 to 6.4m, height 0.5m, is built of small boulders ... It contains a cist, the south side stone, 1.2m long, both end stones, 0.4m long ...On the south side of the cairn 3 large stones, 0.8m to 1.0m long and set on edge are the probable remains of a kerb".
Further information can also be found on the Pastscape, see Monument Number 442391, which adds that the site "is built of small boulders and lies on a moderate, well drained south-west facing slope at 365 metres above OD." The cairn with cist is also included on the Devon & Dartmoor HER: see MDV13234 (Cairn west of Stalldown), and scheduled as Historic England List ID 1012708 (Cairn west of Stalldown).
For a plan which shows the Stalldown Stone Row with all its associated cairns, see the Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for Stalldown.
