(02/12/1987) SX 5321 7618. An oval cairn situated on a slight slope SE of Cox Tor.
It is composed of small and medium size stones (up to 0.2m diameter) forming a mound 4.6m by 4m and 0.35m to 0.45m high. There is a flattish top 2m across. No formal constructional details are visible.
This cairn is similar to another situated 45m to the SW (see SX 57 NW 94). Its small size might suggest a connection with clearance; there are hut circles in the vicinity (see SX 57 NW 40, 141).
