Full description
Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 149259 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.
Site visited on 4th February 1998. Cairn lying between two enclosures in a partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement on the east slope of Oke Tor.

The monument, which falls into eight areas, includes two partially enclosed stone hut circle settlements and a round cairn situated on the eastern slope of Oke Tor overlooking the valley of the River Taw. Lying midway between two settlements is a 4.9 metre diameter flat topped cairn standing up to 0.7 metres high. A kerb formed by at least eight edge set stones surrounds the mound, which does not appear to have been investigated by antiquarians.
