Triple-ringed cairn, Arch Tor

Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1021327) describes a cairn and cist on a south-facing slope above the valley of the Cherry Brook. The cairn is three concentric rings of edge-set slabs round a central cist. The inner ring has at least eight large upright stones up to 1 metre high round a space 3.5 metres across. The middle ring lies 0.6 to 0.8 metres beyond it with at least five edge-set stones. The outer ring is about 1.2 metres further out, with a number of stones showing through the turf in a circle 8.6 metres across. The cist is a rectangular pit marked on three sides by edge-set slabs, running north-north-west to south-south-east, 0.9 metres long, 0.56 metres wide and up to 0.9 metres deep. The north part of the cairn is overlain by a historic boundary bank 1.3 metres wide and up to 0.95 metres high, with the ditch it was dug from on its north side. It lies in the parish of Dartmoor Forest, about 0.8 km east of Higher White Tor and 2.2 km west of Postbridge.
