Wigford Down OSGR SX 5438 6443

Comments 
"Near by, to the north [of Wigford Down S, 5442 6442], stand two more circles, in one of which are what may be the
remains of another kistvaen." Not found near the above grid reference. This probably refers to the cairns on the summit, at 5471 6494.

Comments 
Davidson and Seabrook incorrectly identify the site, which was in any case incorrectly reported by RH Worth (See TDA XXXIII 1901 p 121).
The identifying feature is the stone 9' by 4' by 1'.

Davidson & Seabrook claim a cist here, presumably in the ring cairn, but Worth gives no support for the claim in his barrow report.

"Formerly enclosed a large kistvaen", according to Breton. Not now visible. 
Butler notes two large slabs in the centre. 
Bate, in originally reporting the site, mislocated the site.

Comments 
NMR & SMR ref is from Breton - "A cist within a double circle of fallen stones" Breton is known to be inaccurate. Not found by OS in 1979 - the area is marshy. Possibly the same as SMR SX 56 NE/24, NMR SX 56 NE 75?

NMR suggest SX 56 NE 44, 5909 6577? Possibly the 5947 6674 site?
