Lubin Mar 13, 2005

There are two cairns/kists on the east side of Legis Tor,one has one side and an end,the other has two sides left standing.The one with the two sides has the cap stone lying flat on the ground to the south but the cap stone seems to be missing for the other one.They are both only around 100 metres up hill from the extensive enclosures which are on the side of the hill rising up from the river Plym.
