Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1017991) describes a round cairn known as Quintin's Man on a prominent ridge of Whitehorse Hill, overlooking the valleys of the Teign and the Dart. The mound is 20.5 metres across and up to 1.9 metres high. A small drystone shelter in a pit in the middle is recent. It lies in the parish of Dartmoor Forest, about 1.5 km north-west of Sittaford Tor.
