Cist

Lubin Mar 7, 2005

The kist on the south side of Down Tor sits on a ledge around 600 metres from the summit.There is a small cairn around the kist and what apears to be the capstone sits amongst stones on the down hill side.It is quite difficult kist to find as it is on a small ledge amongst clitter from the rocks of the tor above it.
