Highlighting how difficult some of these Dartmoor cists can be to find, even in early Spring. Eylesbarrow crowns the skyline in a not altogether convincing manner beyond the trees. The Citizen Cairn’d ignores it at his/her, well, ignorance, I guess.

I wasn’t aware of Gutter Tor’s summit cist, so this is the lower example to the north.

There are two cairns/kists at this site,one is on the summit and the other at the northern base just outside the fence that surrounds the north side of the Tor.The one on the summit is not to difficult to find but the one at the base is in amongst long grass and takes a little more work to find.This one was not discovered until 1940.
