Ringmoor Down Cist

Cist

Lubin Mar 10, 2005

This is the only cairn on Ringmoor Down to contain a kist.It lies to the north east of the stone circle and to the east of the cairn circle at the end of the stone row. It is quite unusual as the west end of the kist is made up of two stones instead of the usual one.
