All four slabs present, but the E and S end lean inwards. The cover leant against the S corner in 1994, but had been replaced on top by 2001.
It is not at present possible to visit this cist, as public access has been inexplicably denied - for the time being. See http://www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk/For_bidden.htm

Comments
NMR Grid reference for SX 56 NE 140 is to 570 670, on the track to Yellowmead Farm, but this is a confusion between Yellowmead
and Yellowmeade Farms. A side and an endstone remain in place.

Raddick Hill SE pound OSGR SX 57713 70827
Comments
Possible cist found by RH Bruce on 11th Feb 2016.
A stone set vertically across a section of the pound wall, with another stone aligned with the wall, the two giving the appearance of a side and end of a cist.
There are two large stones downslope within the pound, possibly another sidestone and capstone.
The DNPA archaeologist happened to be on hand, and agreed it is a possible cist.
There is a cist built into a pound wall at Small Brook.

Walkhampton 14, to the north at 5809 7130, is where Burnard locates it. The cist, as Butler says, is visible in Walkhampton 15, which
conforms to Burnard's description. A small, thin and highly corroded piece of bronze was found.
