Information about this cairn, which lies just to the west of the main stone row, comes from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entries for the Stalldown Encircled Cairn and the Stalldown Stone Row [Photo Set 2].
This cairn is also recorded as part of Pastscape Monument No. 442208, which records two Bronze Age cairns which lie "either side of a stone alignment", and as MDC4298 (Cairn to the west of Stalldown Stone Row, Cornwood) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER.
For more information about the row, and a plan of the alignment with all its associated cairns, see the Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for Stalldown .
