White Barrow is a burial mound constructed of Dartmoor Granite stones Underneath the stones will be a burial chamber or Kistvaen. Unfortunately - many of these cairns have been pillaged for potential Grave goods sometimes found buried with the occupants by the past Landowners of Dartmoor.

This Barrow lies on the Lich Way - The way of the dead - an ancient route between Lydford and Widecombe used by occupants of the Moor to carry their dead for burial at Lydford Church. This was prior to Widecombe becoming it's own parish.
Ordnance Survey map reference (10 figure) if within DNP – If outside the Park, add N/A: Not listed
