Notes
HER: There is no ground evidence to suggest the presence of the cairn described by source (1). However, a stoney mound 0.6m high lies at SX 59948928 and forms part of the retaining bank of a small tinners' reservoir (SX 58 NE 29). If taken in isolation this feature may be confused with a prehistoric cairn. NB. This record uses this grid reference, that assumes it matches with the account from Prowse.Prowse: A small tumulus a short distance south of East Miltor (East Mill Tor) and due east of High Willis (High Willhays).
