This site, Ranny Brook (North of) Cist, is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks website. Their notes tell us: "the northern end-stone and the western side-stone survive, whilst smaller stones may represent the other sides."
Further information on this cist can be found on the Pastscape website, see Monument Number 442249, which says this cist lies on the eastern edge of a large stone hut circle settlement and is "about 33 yards south east from the south east angle of the pound, with hut circles and 250 yards north of the Ranny Brook ..... the eastern side and the southern end still stand, while a partially sunken stone may be the displaced western side. The side-stone stands 23 inches above ground level, and is 2ft 6 ins in length .... situated on a south facing slope at 350m OD."
The cairn is also recorded as MDV4272 (Cist 430 metres east-south-east of Yealm Steps), which adds that "there is no trace of a cairn mound, but the old ground surface beneath this may survive as a buried feature." The cist is also scheduled as Historic England List Entry No. 1008646 (Cist 430m ESE of Yealm Steps).
