Full description

Hemery, E., 1983, High Dartmoor, 779-780 (Monograph). SDV249702.

Hemery notes set stones representing ?stone circle and single ?row south at the end of the Sand Path; more stones southward may be part of same alignment. Possible identification of a retaining-circle. Possible extension of alignment in the form of spaced, fallen stones, to a point beyond a military range-pole. Inconclusive (much interference by turf-cutters) but may be candidate at approximately 1,840 feet above sea level to qualify as the highest placed on Dartmoor.
