Full description
Henderson believed that the cist probably contained within Gundry Cave barrow (31498) had been removed (b2). The OS tended to agree, noting that the robber's hollow in the barrow has its south west and north western sides lined by the natural rock meeting at a right angle which may have formed two sides of a cist (h1).
