West Vitifer

Cairn(s)

One of the stones of the kist in the cairn. This cairn has been excavated and an urn with barbed wire markings was found inside the kist . This is now in the Plymouth Museum. The cairn was put back as it was when the excavation was finished.
It is at SX675827.

Hurston Ridge

Stone Row / Alignment

Looking up the row from the blocking stone. This double row is similar to the one only a kilometre or so away at Assycombe Hill in that it only has a blocking stone on the right had row looking up hill.

These photographs, of the seven cairns, were taken on the 18th August 2005 while I was returning from a circular walk from Cantrell taking in the Cuckoo Ball , Glasscombe, Corrindon Ball, Butterdon Hill area.
The grid references I have used were taken from Jeremy Butler’s Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities. I approched the Cairns from the north following the boundary stones from the top of Butterdon Hill down past Black Pool.
