Full description

Parks, D., 2022, Raddick Hill south-east pound cist (Correspondence). SDV365231.

(22/07/2019) Possible cist visited on Raddick Hill in 2019. SX 57712 70827 (recorded using Garmin GPS).
Originally recorded by B. Radcliffe: "Possible cist found by RH Bruce (11/02/2016). A stone set vertically across a section of the pound wall, with another stone aligned with the wall, the two giving the appearance of a side and end of a cist. There are two large stones downslope within the pound, possibly another sidestone and capstone. The Dartmoor National Park Authority archaeologist happened to be on hand, and agreed it is a possible cist."
Visited by author on 22/07/2019 and photographed - looks very much like a cist embedded in a pound wall.
