Notes: "Ring cairn 460 metres south-west of White Hill summit, forming part of the White Hill round cairn cemetery. This monument includes a ring cairn situated on a gentle west-facing slope overlooking Willsworthy Army Camp. The earthwork appears as a raised internal platform measuring 15m in diameter surrounded by a circular bank 3.5m wide and 0.5m high. A shallow hollow in the centre of the internal area suggests robbing or partial early excavation. This cairn forms part of the White Hill round cairn cemetery." NMR A. Cairn is part of an alignment of cairns, see photo.

Doetor Common (W) Clearance Cairn

OS Map: SX 52350 84680
NMR record: SX 58 SW 11
HER record: MDV3219
ShortName: CN?Doetor Co1
Grinsell: LYD 10
Notes: Post-medieval. NMR states "The mound depicted on the OS 1:10000 scale mapping (1) and described by Grinsell (2) is largely obscured by gorse. It is not of prehistoric origin as it sits upon a number of narrow cultivation ridges associated with the post medieval field system in this area. It is more likely to be a relatively recent stone clearance heap. A similar feature (440692) lies 140m to the east."
