This cairn can be found north of St Bellarmins Tor (near the dissused quarry) At first it looks like just another ransacked cairn but on closer inspection you will notice it has a bank around it..more feelable underfoot than visual!

This cairn on top of Great Care Hill looks like it could have once been a ring cairn...very knocked about, just outside of firing range danger zone. St Bellarmins Tor in distance on left.

Not the greatest piccy for seeing the barrow, this one is marked by a metal star which is covered in graffiti from an armed forces group stuck there in Feb 1975. This area don’t get many visitors!

Cardinham Moor

This whole area to the east of Colvannick Stone Row is littered with small barrows. It is also a Danger Area due to the firing range to the south. Because of this it is not well visited and even though there are several footpaths crossing the area none are signposted and navigation is not easy.
On the east facing side of Great Care Hill can be found a couple of hut circles hidden amongst the gorse.
