Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1012630) describes a cairn on the south-west-facing slope of Lee Moor, south of the Cross Dyke reave and south-west of the Cholwich Town contour reave. The mound is 8 metres across and 0.5 metres high and is made up mostly of stone, with a hollow on its east side. It lies west of several enclosures and hut circles that have their own schedulings. It lies in the parish of Shaugh Prior, about 1.1 km south-east of Great Trowlesworthy Tor and 3 km north-east of Wotter.

Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
