Information about the Homerton Hill North Cist comes from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website. Their notes tell us this site comprises: "a small, disturbed cairn containing three edge set stones of a cist ... The turf covered cairn measures 3.5 x 3.1m and 0.3m max. height. The top and north side of the mound has been disturbed exposing the three in situ cist stones. The cist measures 0.8 x 0.6m and 0.3m deep. It is now open to the north. A large stone lying flush with the ground lies immediately north east of the cairn and probably represents the missing endstone or the coverstone".
The PDW web page gives links to further information on Pastscape, Monument Number 968118, which adds that this site "forms an outlying part of a cairnfield situated on a gentle north west facing slope of Homerton Hill overlooking the valley of the West Okement River."
The cist is also recorded as MDV12884 (Cairn and cist forming part of a cairnfield on Homerton Hill) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER. It is also scheduled as Historic England List Entry No. 1010778 (Cairn and cist forming part of a cairnfield on Homerton Hill).
