Full description
Baring Gould, S., 1899, Sixth Report of the Dartmoor Exploration Committee, 152 (Article in Serial). SDV344950.
Ruined barrow on White Tor. It lies 110m west of the kistvaen SX57NW5, near Langstone Menhir. Excavated, and a perforated spatula-shaped implement was found. Pits in sub-soil beneath.
(N. B. This barrow is probably wrongly positioned. See SX57NW/52/1. (R. B. ). ).
Worth, R. H., 1902, 21st Report of the Barrow Committee, 111,116,122,129,131 (Article in Serial). SDV20971.
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1950/1978, SX57NW26 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV226813.
Ruined cairns at SX 5475 7873 (citing Worth, R. H., 1945).
(18/07/1950) No trace of these ruined cairns could be found in area shown by Worth. They are possibly the cairns described on SX57NW10.
(13/10/1978) Worth's note would almost certainly refer to the cairns recorded under OSA: SX57NW7 rather than OSA: SX57NW10, though both groups were published on 1907 OS 6" (NMR, citing OS).
Duplicate of ciarns at SX 5435 7836 (OSA: SX57NW10) (NMR, citing Fox, Lady A., 1953).
Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, 1985, Aerial Photograph Project (Dartmoor) - Dartmoor Pre-NMP (Cartographic). SDV319854.
