This site is featured on Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW)website as the Lower Glasscombe Cist. Their notes tell us: "there is a very slight trace of a mound and scattered rocks indicate the remains of a cairn ... Only one sidestone and one endstone now remain with the coverstone lying 11 feet away to the south-east. Overall dimensions of the coverstone are 49 inches by 24 inches". Also see PDW's page for the The Neolithic tombs of Cuckoo Ball & Corringdon Ball.
Further information can be found on Pastscape, Monument Number 441989, which adds: (this is) "a cist (which) lies some 400 feet up the lower slopes of Glass Combe Ball, from the West Glaze Brook, and 1000 feet upstream from Glaze Meet."
The cist is also recorded as MDV5652 (Cist north-west of Glazemeet) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER. This site is not a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
