Information about the Hickley Ridge East Cist comes from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website. Their notes tell us this cist comprises: "One side and one end slab of cist on Hickley Ridge, with other fallen stones in the mound. One of three badly damaged cists aligned south-west to north-east across Hickley Ridge, recognised by Butler in 1995."
There is no NMR record on Pastscape, but the cist is recorded as MDV61773 (Cist on Hickley Ridge) which dates the cist from the Early Neolithic to the late Bronze Age (4000BC to 701BC). This site is not scheduled.
