Round cairn lying in an historic field at SX 5949 6581. Forms part of a complex multi period archaeological landscape on the north-west slopes of Hen Tor overlooking the valley of the River Plym. The mound measures 7 metres by 5 metres and stands up to 0.4 metres high.
The shape of the mound suggests that it could be a pillow mound, although its dimensions and proximity to a large number of other cairns means that it is more likely to be a cairn.
