Cairn in Devon

Pastscape Monument No. 969170 says: "(this is) a disturbed cairn on the level summit of Longstone Hill 60m E of the flagstaff. The circular cairn measures 9.4m in diameter and stands 0.4m high. The centre of the mound is occupied by an amorphous hollow, presumably the site of an unrecorded antiquarian excavation. There is no evidence to suggest the presence of a cist or kerb. This feature lies amidst a large number of cairns (at least 64) that litter the summit and ridgeline of Longstone Hill. It differs in being circular and larger than those surrounding it and is probably earlier in origin.

The excavation has exposed some of the boulders and stones that make up the cairn's fabric and these have recently been moved to create a smaller cairn on the S edge of this feature".
