Broken Barrow (Round Cairn) — Miscellaneous |
|
Historic England summarises this impressive monument thus: "A cairn situated on the flat crest of the south-east spur of Royal Hill at 395.0m OD being a mound of partly-turf-covered large stones with a depression in the centre. Its diameter is 16.0m and its maximum height 1.6m." Clearly, not a site to miss when visiting the other excellent cairns/cists in the locale of Royal Hill. |

Bellever Tor West (Cist) — Miscellaneous |
| To be fair, the posted images say all there is to say about the quality of this excellent cist - for me, the finest of the monuments clustered around Bellever Tor. |
