Details The monument includes a prehistoric round cairn situated in open moorland near the broad summit of Dunkery Hill at the eastern end of the Dunkery Ridge. The round cairn forms an outlying member of a round cairn cemetery, the centre of which is located about 650m to the north east along the contour of the Ridge and forms the subject of a separate scheduling. The cairn survives as a stoney mound 9.4m in diameter. The centre of the mound has been hollowed, the stone having been removed, probably as a result of antiquarian excavation or by robbing, giving the cairn the appearance of a near circular bank 0.4m in height.
