Cairn and cist in Devon
Information about the Nattor Down 5 Cist comes from Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website.
The PDW web page gives links to further information on Pastscape, Monument Number 440705, which describes this monument as: "a Bronze Age cairn and a cist. The cairn measures 4.9m by 4.2m and is 0.3m high, and incorporates the remains of a cist. It consists of one side slab 1.2m long and one end slab 0.5m long; the visible depth is 0.4m of which 0.1m protrudes above the cairn. A possible cover stone, 1.0m by 0.8m, lies embedded in the south side of the cairn."
This site is also recorded as MDV3223 (Cairn in the Parish of Peter Tavy) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER, and scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1008711 (An enclosed stone hut circle settlement, three round cairns and a length of reave 650m WSW of Ger Tor).
