Atop Hamel Down tor there is a large cairn and trig point. It looks to me as though the current pile of stones is a relatively modern construction, but there seems to be a large circular platform which is presumably the base of the original cairn here, with some large stones spaced around it. 

Viewed here looking southeast, with Haytor and Rippon Tor framing the cairn top
