Round cairn east of Down Tor near Combshead Tor

Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1009092) describes a round cairn on a gentle west-facing slope of Hingston Hill, overlooking Down Tor. The mound is 17 metres across and up to 1.5 metres high. A pit cut into its core is 4 metres long, 3 metres wide and 1.2 metres deep, partly revetted at the sides, probably from robbing or an early excavation, though nothing is known of what was found. The steep edges of the mound suggest a kerb, which survives mostly as a buried feature. A ditch that supplied the material surrounds the mound and has since filled in; it shows as a band of rushes 1.5 metres wide on the north side, where the buried ditch holds more moisture. It lies in the parish of Walkhampton, about 0.8 km north-east of Combeshead Tor.

The cairn is in direct line with the two terminal stones at either end of the stone alignment to its south-west, which has its own scheduling.
