Money Pit Cairn
The Money Pit Cairn (also called Moneypit or Yar Tor Cairn ) is a cairn framed by a double curb ring from the Bronze Age east of Dartmeet, near Ponsworthy in Devon in England .
The Cairn, often also referred to as the stone circle or "Platform Cairn Circle", represents the remains of a round stone mound with a diameter of about 3.0 m and a largely destroyed stone box (locally called Kistvaen ) inside . The stone material of the cairn has been almost completely removed. A heart-shaped arrowhead made of flint was found . Two rows of triple stones , some of which are severely disturbed, lie in the north-west and south-east of the Cairns.
The Corndon Down Cairns are nearby .
