This Bronze Age cist is one of only seven to have been documented on Exmoor, only two of which survive.
It is lined with slate slabs, and a large 5ft square capstone still partially covers its top.
The mound that would have surrounded it was dug into in 1820 for road stone
When the cist was disturbed a skeleton was found inside and this was reinterred in the churchyard at nearby Treborough
