Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1007828) describes a round cairn on a gentle south-west-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Doe Tor Brook. The mound is 19 metres across and up to 1.5 metres high, with an irregular hollow in the middle that suggests partial early excavation or robbing. It lies in the parish of LCPs of Bridestowe and Sourton, about 0.5 km south-east of Little Links Tor.
