Notes

Cunis, E, 2021, Identification of possible circle/row on Whitehorse Hill (Correspondence). (04/03/2021) Possibile cairn(s) and small stone row identified on Hayne Down. William Crossing mentions a cist 'near the southern group of summit rocks’ (reported by Butler in Vol. One) but cairn not mentioned therefore this may be a separate feature.
One stone standing prominently, another 2-3 noted in a linear arrangement from what looks like a round cairn at the north-western end. Grid Ref: SX74022 79974.
This is very unlikely to be the feature mentioned by Crossing. The current entry for that is located between the two tors and is nearly half a kilometer away. See: Hayne Down summit Reported Cist

The author briefly looked for this feature with Steve Szypko on 10/12/2025. We were on a time limited walk using buses and were unable to locate this feature. We did find a line of stones going uphill near to the grid reference which looked natural or possibly the fragmentary remains of walling but we are not certain this was the reported feature.
