Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2013
Ringmoor Down Cairn 4 submitted by TheCaptain on 30th May 2013. marked on the OS map as enclosure, is likely the remains of a fairly large ring cairn of 35 metres diameter.
It is not easy to find, although given the right conditions, the central area can be seen to be flattened off from the basic moor.

Visited: Yes on 23rd May 2013
Ringmoor Down Cairn 3 submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd May 2013. Ringmoor Down Cairn 3 does not look entirely convincing to me. It consists of a circle of fairly small stones of which only one or two are earthfast.
There are no obvious cairn remains within this circle.

Trowlesworthy West enclosure
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2013
Trowlesworthy West enclosure submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd May 2013. A little way from the downhill end of the western stone row is a circular enclosure, about 10m in diameter.
I am not sure whether this is some kind of settlement enclosure (too big for hut circle, too small for animal enclosure) or perhaps a ring cairn.
