TheCaptain visited on 8th Apr 2025 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 2 Between the Whit Moor stone and the stone circle is a clear cairn to be seen. With it being so dry and the new years growth yet to happen, it's looking more significant than I remember from 21 years ago.

The cairn is very much overgrow, and is possibly associated in some way with the circle.
Update December 2019: This cairn is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the White Moor Cairn. The cairn is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 443699, as MDV4372 (Round cairn north-west of White Moor stone), and scheduled as Historic England List Entry No. 1010787 (Round cairn 80m SSW of White Moor stone circle).
